Lucio "Leo" Casillas

Besides being the comedian he was, my Uncle Leo made the best "chicharones con chile colorado". I will always cherish the memories of the family vacationing in Yosemite. My uncle Leo would wear this blue hankerchief to protect himself from the blue jays. Thank You for all the memories until we meet again...

Well Daddy, I guess the next time I go to a corrida, I will have to remember all you taught me about the qualities of the bull because you won't be sitting there next to me. I will have to remember to know if a bull favors a horn and which one...if the matador is any good, si se sabe arrimar. Remember Daddy, when we saw an indulto together in Tijuana? You called it first! You took out your white hankie and waved it at the judge and yelled "Indulto". I had no idea what was going on until you...

AS A PERSON LEO WAS A GOOD MAN A HARD WORKER. AS A GRAND FATHER HE WAS A GREAT MAN WITH A BIG HEART FULL OF LOVE AND JOY. MY GARNDPA NEVER LET ME DOWN HIS ARMS WERE ALWAYS OPEN NO MOUTH WENT UNFEED, EVERY TIME I WALKED INTO HIS HOUSE I COULD COUNT ON A TACO AND A 7 UP (ALWAYS ON MY TAP). ONE WORD COMES TO MIND ABOUT WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY GRANDPA PRIDE. THAT IS WHAT I WILL ALWAYS HAVE IN MY HEART AND THAT IS WHAT I FEEL WHEN PEOPLE SAY THE NAME LEO CASILLAS. LOVE YOU ALWAYS GRANDPA YOUR FIRST...
