I have such fond memories growing up, especially over-nights on occasion. I remember Uncle Leo driving for VT Transit from Newport to Boston. He was always in good spirits & loved telling jokes with the most serious face; that's what I'll be remembering.
My Sincere Condolences,

Oh the memories of my favorite Uncle. Always happy and full of jokes. He always made you feel so welcome when visiting, and especially in his later years when we hadn't seen each other for a long time. Growing up I remember my folks along with Aunt Hazel and Uncle Leo always doing things together. When I was a small child we often went to Seymour Lake swimming in the summer. And yes, there are pictures somewhere of me as a toddler in a "knit" bathing suit with my Uncle Leo on the sands...

Extending condolences to the Fontaine family. Sadly, I didn't get to spend too much time with him, but the time we did share, he was very entertaining, love to tell me jokes, and even though he claimed to not "hear that well" he sure knew how to make you feel welcome, and his hugs were the "best".   May he be at peace in heaven!
