Remember Mr. Hickey has a customer, when I worked at Best video. Very nice and friendly man. Sorry for your loss.

Our son, Daniel had the good fortune to be mentored and befriended by Leo. The influence he had on Dan was enormous. We will forever be grateful to him. He clearly left an indelible mark on the lives of many; including those who who knew him best through their children.
Most sincerely,
Linda and David Peppe

My condolences to you and your family. I was a student of Henry Andrews and remember how fondly Henry spoke of Leo and respected his work. It was a great pleasure to have been able to meet Dr. Hickey when he came to New Haven to work at the Peabody. I know he will be surely missed by all who knew him. Sincerely, Jeff Granoff

Dear Judy and family we are very sorry for your loss. Lillian and Gene Fappiao
