Read MoreMy sincere condolences to Petra, Miriam and Leonel. I recall Leonel as one among Bridgeport's finest Hispanic leaders and role models. He was kind, gracious fun-loving and indeed made a fantastic paella. Importantly, he encouraged educational excellence and hard work to Hispanic youth as a way forward to a better life. A wonderful legacy.

Mr. Collazo was always so kind to me and my family. We met him through our friendship with his son Leonel.. I remember when he and Mrs. Collazo would come to Virginia to visit Leonel he always had such a big smile on his face and would cook such delicious food and would not mind showing me how to prepare some of his recipes. He made me feel like part of his family. I will always cherish that and will miss him greatly. Im so sorry for the families loss and pray for their comfort. With all my love
