Please accept my sincere condolences. Leon and I were great childhood friends. Along with my brother Maurice and other dear friends like Rudy Bliss, Leon was free spirit and he was an adventurous soul. Leon was brave, even as a child and young teenager. I will never forget him and will keep him in my prayers!

Leon my old friend, I lost track of you back in the 80's and alway's wondered how you were. You had the ability to make people laugh where ever you went, I'm sure you will continue to do so when you get to the other side. From one Viet Nam Vet and friend to another, May God Bless You, R.I.P. See You when I get there.
