I have many fond memories of Uncle Leo and always looked forward to seeing him. He was a fun loving person and was a joy to be around. I will always remember the family's summer trips up to the farm in PA when all of us cousins were young. And the hunting trips to the "Ridge". All great memories. My deepest sympathies to Lee, Gail, Keith, all of their spouses and children and especially Aunt Alice. This was probably the hardest uncle for me to see move on to Heaven. We will all miss him.

I will never forget when Great Uncle Leo would come to visit Florida. I couldn't wait to see his magic tricks even though I had seen them many times. What a very loving man he was and I am proud to have known him. <3

I have very fond memories of Uncle Leo and Aunt Alice. I remember my dad calling me every time they came into town to visit from Melbourne. I would pack the kids up and away we would go to visit two of the best people in the world. Uncle Leo always had a big smile, kind word, a joke to tell, or card trick to show us. My kids adored him as much as I did. The world is a sadder world without Uncle Leo, but heaven is a much brighter place in having him. Enjoy your pinocle games with your siblings Uncle Leo. You will be missed by many. Go with God, and may you Rest in Peace. (((HUGS))) My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Alice and the rest of the family.

I am saddened with the loss a kind and gentle man. Being one of the youngest of Bushia's Grand children, My memories are not as clear as some of the older cousins. I was always so glad to see Uncle Leo And Aunt Alice. There was always a smile, a hug and a kiss. Please Rest in Peace.

I will always remember Uncle Leo as a real jokester. He loved to do card tricks and would always tease me when we would see each other. My sympathy goes out to Aunt Alice, Lee, Gayle and Keith. So sorry to lose him but I know he feels great now playing cards with his siblings again. Love

It is so hard seeing all my aunts and uncles pass away. The whole time we were growing up each and every one of them were such a part of my life. I have so many special memories for each of them and Uncle Leo was no exception. He always had a smile on his face and something funny to say. My condolences to Aunt Alice, Lee, Gail and Keith (and all your families).
