Memories and Condolences

February 25, 2012
A man of few words, yet a man with a mind to solve any problem or anything. I remember talking to the man and asking him questions about life and of course, cars. I felt as I was just as smart as the man because I was being lectured by a genius in his own way. We were all blessed to have such a man in our lives, and I am proud to say he was my Uncle.

Uncle Leo. When you visited Casa Grande I remember a trip we went on to Boise, ID. You were so nice and spoke calmly all the way there. I will always remember how nice you were to me. You will be missed so much. RIP Uncle Leo.
We pray with your family for resolve and strength.
