Even though I never really knew you, I know how much you meant to my mother and the rest of my family. It saddens us that you are gone, but we know you are in a better place now. May you rest in peace Uncle Leo.

Sorry to hear of Leo's passing. I, too, have many fond memories of our child hood games on South Drive when we were next door neighbors. My condolences to the family, all of whom I remember very well and fondly.

Seems like just yesterday we were kids in the old neighborhood on South Drive. My wife and I will always be grateful to Leo when in 1980 we came from Wisconsin to Dallas, Texas. Leo in an act of kindness let us stay at his home and even helped us find jobs when we first arrived. Sincere condolences to the family, We were saddened to hear of his passing.
