My name is Billy Squire of Jamaica Plain and I am producing a documentary about the Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain. I understand that Joe and Leo were the previous owners until 1987. May I please ask for anyone affiliated with these men and the Midway to reach out to me to talk about the history of one of Boston's last surviving, family owned, live music venues that has become a pillar to the community of JP. Thank you.

Thank you, Leo, for being in my Mom's life. You changed her life forever. You were the only father I really knew, I am so very proud of that. You taught me so very much, things I will never forget. You treated my Mom like a lady. God Bless you. You and my Mom created my baby sister, Our greatest gift to our family. Then, amazingly blessed you both with two beautiful granddaughters. I know that is what kept Our Mom alive that much longer. You put magic in my Mom's eyes and heart. I am happy you are at peace with "Dotty" now. That is where you are happiest. You & Mom are greatly missed and loved! I can picture your being arm in arm, singing, and dancing to your old-time tunes! "Cheers" Have one for me! Enjoy, Until we meet again, my dear friend!

To my dear friend, step-dad, and the kindest, most loving man to my mom. I still think about you so often and thank you for coming into my mom's life. You made her the happiest woman on this earth. You gave her our precious gift, Our sister, Jen. And then the blessing of Yours and my mom's 2 beautiful grandchildren, Julia & Olivia. Those precious girls kept mom alive just that much longer, a true gift to us all. You would be so proud and mom too! I hope you & my mom are dancing and singing some of your old tunes arm in arm together and smiling down upon us! We love you and think of you both always and forever! With deep-hearted memories...Until we meet again.

Leo was my good neighbor at the Quincy West Condo. I know how much he missed Dot so I am glad they are now re united. I hope we will still see Julia and Olivia from time to time. I have enjoyed watching them grow!
