May you all find comfort in knowing that Grampa Leo is now sitting with God up in heaven, singing his heart out.

This man has touched many lives during his time here on Earth and many will remember him for years to come. I will certainly remember all the good jokes he would tell me and the stories about him he was growing up. He lived a full life.

We will keep all of you in our prayers.
