We were both shocked & saddened by the news of Leo's death.
It wasn't even two weeks ago he was in our office and we were talking about our daughters weddings, his in June ours in August. He was not only our Market Rep, but someone you were proud to call a friend.
He will be surely missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Leo. He always had a smiling face and a great story during his many visits through the years. He always spoke of his family and you could always hear the great pride he had in his daughters. He will be missed.

I am thankful for having had the opportunity to work with Leo during my time at Quincy Mutual. He was always willing and able to help others with his vast knowledge of the insurance marketplace. Always true to his “old school” roots and part of a vanishing breed of insurance marketing professionals… he will be missed by all of us.

We at the Cotuit Post office will very much miss Leo. We all enjoyed bantering with Leo, and chatting at the end of the day..chasing him out as we would lock the doors. His twinkle in his eye and smile, will forever be missed......This is such a shock for us.
