Not sure what to say?

Deepest sympathy to Rose, Leo , Joe and family on passing of Leo. I met Leo when we worked in Thailand and again in Ireland when he came on holiday with his brother Joe and family. I mislaid his address so I didn't reply to his last lettter. When I searched Google I learned he'd passed away. His warm hearted spirit will live on in you all. May he rest in peace

Rose & Leo
My condolences goes out to you and your family.

Mr Leo
Will always and forevermore be my friend and my angel.

Dana,

I am writing for Norman J Taylor who worked with Leo in Scranton. Our condolences to Leo and Rose and the rest of the Dorsey family. Norman thought highly of Leo who will be missed. Our best to the family, Roz, Norman's wife.

I remember always looking forward to seeing Leo when he visited the Dorsey's. He was lots of fun & patient with all of us hovering around him. He made us laugh a lot & had some great stories to tell us of his travels. My thoughts & prayers go out to Leo, Rose & the whole family. Just remember that he'll always be with you. Love, Carol (O'Duggan) Pavlicek

I thought I won the award for achievement in international work with seven years in the Peace Corps and then we reconnected at The Dalton House; that's when I once again discovered you as my...

We'll forever miss this remarkable man, who not only touched so many lives, but was adored by everyone he surrounded himself with. We'll forever be grateful for his passion and willingness to help others. We were fortunate as a refugee family, to have been blessed with his existence. We gained so much in life because of Leo, and will never forget all he did for our family. He was a brother, uncle, and second dad to many of us. His warm and loving smile will always be remembered.
