As the weeks and years pass, we mostly forget about loved ones who have left us. Leo was not in this category as he was a truly loved and respected person.

I am deeply saddened to hear just recently of Leo's passing. He was the most wonderful boss and mentor and I cherished all the time we spent together outside of work. I will always remember the charismatic gentleman you were with big kid heart and infectious laugh. I don't know what you saw in me back then but I am glad that you did. I was truly blessed having had you in my life those years. My deepest condolences to his family.
