I also worked with Leo at Foreign Auto in Southie from 11/83 to 3/87. He was gruff but one funny guy, I still tell his jokes,stories and use his one liners to this day. I'll never forget him.

Dear Leo, You won't remember me but I remember you. I was a 24 year old yard ops manager for Foreign Auto Servicing in Southie circa 1985, I recall a large, loud Irishman who helped keep the troops in line, for which I will be forever grateful. Godspeed Leo Fahey!

Mr. Fahey,
Sir, I didn't know you but as a fellow Marine, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during WW II. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines during WW II that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
