Not sure what to say?

I had the joy of meeting Leo when he worked for the tolls in Norwalk. He trained me to do a clerk's job inside with the day's receipts and cash. He was full of fun and made each day a pleasure to work. He had a wonderful work ethic and being barely 20 I learn more than just my job. Sorry to hear of your family's loss. He has and always will be a special memory in my life. May God bring you peace with wonderful memories

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Darlene sorry to hear about your father. We at Paradise Green remember him coming in to do his banking. Even though we have not seen him in awhile we remember him fondly. We will remember you in our prayers.

Darlene, I'm very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you
at this difficult time. Your Dad was the true meaning of a gentleman.

I remember how Leo let us kids hang out occasionally in his store, especially in the cold weather. I recall he had an imposing German Shepard there to keep him company. He was a soft spoken and genuine individual, always open to listen and give advice. So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

Dear Darlene:My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Know that you have a very special Angel to watch over you.

My sincere condolences to the Devan family. We go back many years knowing each other. I was his Motor pool Sgt in A battery 283 May he rest in peace. He was a great guy

Yes, as Dan Conte says, he was a real gentleman!! Growing up and stopping by with my mom to carry my dad's case of Schaefer, he was always very interested in how school was going and made me feel welcome. I was surprised one day in my college days, paying the Thruway toll in Westport to see him again. A wonderful man!

Darlene, I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad was a real gentleman. My prayers are with you.
