Solomon said in Ecclesiastes that a man won't remember the mere days of his life, because God replaces those with joy of the heart. I know this man brought joy to his family, and that is an unalterable legacy that will live on to honor him.

Not knowing Leo very well, but knowing Joann (his loving daughter) gives me a good insight to his teachings and beliefs in life. God takes care of his own and I believe Leo is in His loving care, forever.
