Leo E. Chaffin

It has been many years since I last saw Gerry and Leo, I remember I always looked forward to visits and golfing with them. Leo will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. My thoughts and best wishes are with Gerry and her family.

I remember Leo from my early days when he would visit the family. I can still see him in his dress blues with Lieutenant Commander stripes. He was always sharp. I loved Mike and Carole as well. Gerry, please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Leo was a class mate of ours at Oregon State, went to indoctrination for the Navy with Bill and was a member of our wedding party Aug. 15, 1943. He and Bill were in the Submarine Naval Reserve in Portland. We knew Jean and their two children at St. Thomas More. We moved away in the late 1960's and saw Leo only rarely after that, but we always considered him a good friend. Annis and Bill

Gerry, My heartfelt condolences go to you and your family. I will never forget being your neighbor at Neskowin and how friendly and helpful you both were.
I loved seeing Leo walk the dogs on the beach every morning, or I should say, them walking him.
I lost Jack 7 years ago and can fully understand your pain and my thoughts and prayers are with you

Leo was a wonderful cousin for me. I remember how handsome he was as a young man. In these later years we have enjoyed luncheons with Sister Kate and Jim Ray, our other cousins, all of us being from the Ray family side of the house.
Leo was a darling man in his older years (I didn't know him all that well in the earlier years). I'm sorry not to have seen him before he died. I hope Gerry his wife is doing okay. She is such a gracious and lovely lady.

I was in the same class with Leo at Oregon State University and I remember how smart he was. He always got the "A's"! I send my condolences to his family.
