Leo's Family, My most sincere and heartfelt condolences for your loss. The few times I'd see Leo he always asked how the Family was, which was above and beyond anyone I've ever worked for. Something like that I'll never forget. Best job and best Boss, bar none. He'll be remembered by all of us former drivers. Sincerely, Joe Rausa

Please accept our deepest sympathy,

Leo is one of the best I've ever worked for. He exhibited great confidence in the people who worked for him and paid them well. He truly respected his people.

Emily and Family: Leo had a long productive and successful life. He was a much loved husband, father and step-father. Now that he has shed his worldly self, I hope he is in a place where he can once again run like the wind. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

My first job at 16 was at Purity Supreme in Saxonville (Framingham), in the late 50's...new store, new job...It was such a great introduction to the work force. Leo would visit the store often, talked to everyone, even the 16 yr.old part timers, listen, and be interested in what they had to say. He treated everyone from manager to the teenagers...alike. What a very nice man...Now that I am turning 70, I realize how lucky I was to get that first job. Janet Dalton Snow

To the family of Leo Kahn:
Whenever I asked to meet Leo at Legal he found the time and offered advice that we at Miltons valued. He was a rare human whose friendship we cherished.

I had the pleasure meeting Mr Kahn when Staples first started. Also the memory of the Kahns living on the first floor of our Brookline 2 family! As a little kid they were fun .
