To all of Leo's family and friends: I still think fondly of his voicemail, instructing callers to leave word on his "telly-phone":) We had many lovely years together on Berks Co. MDA; his joy and enthusiasm were, indeed, contagious. Thanks for sharing Leo with the rest of the world - the mold has been broken with his passing.

Preston, my condolences. He led a great life. I shared many moments with Leo over almost 50 years being granted his wisdom. And his introduction of you to me gave us some good memories.

I cannot say, and I will not say that he is dead, He is just away!
With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very air it needs must be, since he lingers there, and you-oh you, who the wildest yearn for the old-time step and the glad return.

Think of him faring on, as dear in the love of there as the love of here.
Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead—he is just away.
