Leo was a true FRIEND and would give you his last if you really needed it. Terry and I would go and get him and we would go out to eat and just enjoy one another, but now he has gone home to be with the LORD. I am so glad that Leo accepted the LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST before he departed this earth. In the words of a song that I heard which said, "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday." Rest In Peace O'Leo, we will see you again.

Bobby and I would love to go to Leo house and listen to his old blues music ...it would be like a concert with all the personal details about the artist.While visiting you could feel him getting closer to God as Paul did on the road to Damascas and he meet his Ananias who opened his eyes to serve Jesus...God Bless Leo Chester Prout....
