I just learned of Leo's death. I only knew him as one of his winter plowing customers. A very decent man. Honest and willing to accommodate. Leo recently volunteered to use his cabinet making expertise to successfully solve a difficult problem in the kitchen redo my wife was undertaking. I admired his can-do spirit. My wife and I are sad that he has died. I know his family will miss him. We're sorry for your loss.
