To the Seger family, I am so sorry for your loss.
I always enjoyed visiting with Leo and Doug at the welding shop.
Truly one of the finest families I ever knew in Centralia,IL.
Mrs Segar ,the kindest.
Visiting with Leo and Doug at the shop always reminded me
of my own dad and I working and
enjoying each others company before dad past on July 4th 2006.
I will send up a prayer for
Leo and the whole family.

I'm truly sorry Leo is no longer with us physically. He was such a joy to be around even during his times of pain and suffering. He always had a hug, kiss and a kind word for everyone. It was an honor to care for Leo and get to know the Seger family. I'll miss him always and my thoughts are with the family.

Seger family, I am so sorry for your loss. Leo taught me many things in the short time I knew him. He was an inspiration to me. He was always so strong, just as you are. The world will be a sadder place without him.
