I remember Leon since he was school age along with my son Marc. I have always treated Leon like my own son, and he was always welcome in my home to eat, watch tv or whatever my sons were doing. Leon has always treated me with the utmost respect, even in his adult years. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dear Barbara, Quanda, Aretha and Family:
Leon will be truly truly missed. Since I received this awful news, I’ve been reminiscing about how much he loved his nieces and nephews, his wonderful personality and his handsome smile. Leon and I were in the same class in pre-K and over the passed couple of days, I have not been able to put down that class picture from many years ago.
I can only hope that your years of happiness and your many good memories will allow you to live with this sad and unfortunate loss. My family and I will keep you all in our prayers and please accepted our deepest sympathy.
