Such a wonderful person, always cheerful with a nice word for everyone. Leo was a teacher of mine many years ago in Irvington and much later on a neighbor when we moved to Union. He was such a good friend to my mom and uncle and all the folks at Holy Spirit. The world could use more people like Leo.
