Dear Marie and Frannie

I was so sorry to hear of Leo's passing. He was such a great man, always had a smile and made you feel like you were just the best thing entering the room. I always remember how loving and complimentary he was toward my family. He was a wonderful man and will surely be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Frannie and Marie you are both in my thoughts and prayers. Leo was a great man and one of a kind. I sure will miss him. He was always smiling and knew how to make other people laugh. I will remember all the holidays we spent together. He had the best handshake also. Hes in a better place now "where soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace." Leo has a memory that will live on and never be forgotten. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

Uncle Leo Always had a deep handshake and a gret smile. He never had a bad word about anyone during our conversations, unless we were talking about any opponent to B.C. I'll miss the way he would great everyone as if he haddn't seen them in ages, even if he was with them the day before. With Love

Fran & Marie
Both Bob & I wish to extend our prayers and thoughts to you both in this very stressful time.
Leo was such a good person and it is going to be a loss for all who knew him. I will always remember seeing him outside whether shoveling snow, or picking up the leaves in the fall...he was such a joy to be around. He always had something nice to say about everyone. I don't think he had a bad word come across his lips.
I feel your pain, it just seems like yesterday I lost my Dad....it doesn't get easier, just gets better knowing that people love you and care about you and that's what helps you get through this time.
Again our thoughts and prayers are with you.
