I have nothing but wonderful memories of Leon. I met him when I was 3 or 4...he called me Donnieski...a business associate and dear friend of my 'Dad'. I saw him often until I left home to go to college.
I still share stories of him...a warm, wonderful man. Miss you, Leon.

You watched me grow up, during your business and friendship with Bill. I still smile when I think of you...

I will miss my friend Leon.

Leon was a man of great experience, and well aged wisdom. He was a patron of good living, and a gentleman with a thirst for beauty.

I am proud to have had such a friend, and I will forever miss our meetings.

Mr. Leon Kutz was my teacher, my mentor and my friend. We shared a lot of time together, and he taught my soul many lessons.

When you are as fortunate as I have been to be a student of such a great man, you will understand what I mean when I tell you there was never a question if Leon was disappointed in the particular direction your life was taking when he was on your watch.

If you were a friend of Leon’s you were always on his watch. He did not hide disappointment, and he was never shy with praise for a job well done. And my favorite thing about Leon is that his expectations were so simple and pure: Seek out beauty, and take the time to recognize its importance – and realize the power of sharing.

I will miss Leon’s ego check.

Leon had a spark in his eyes I found to be intoxicating. His appetite for beauty and art was bottomless, and his quest for recognizing success no matter the scale was mesmerizing.

Dinner will never be the same.

I will miss my old man, and he will forever be in my cheers.
