Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Leo really made everyone smile if not laugh out loud, he was so kind and so generous, what a wonderful man. I'll never forget how great he was the day he took Kate and I to get our passports, and I had to bring Billy with us, 7 at the time, we ran in the offices and he and Billy drove around the block, later Billy told me how funny he was and how he had a good time, that would be a 1st for Billy, having a good time driving around the block in Boston in traffic. He will be missed greatly, a truely generous man!
