Leon Hunter Handley

My condolences in your loss. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Handley as a young boy in the early 60s. I was from Apopka and went with my family Christmas shopping at Colonial Plaza Mall. I had an old wallet of my dad´s with my life savings earned mowing yards (just a very few dollars). I dropped it on the sidewalk just west of Ronnie´s which was packed solid with shoppers.

The Korean War Veterans Association Department of Florida and Chapter 173 Casselberry send our belated yet sincerest condolences on the passing of our Brother In Arms Leon Hunter Handley (Merchant Marines WWII Warrant Officer). He served his country well and honorably. May he Rest In Peace.

Leann, I just read the obituary about your dad. I am very sorry for your loss. I remember him from the fair as well as you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My love and condolences to all of the Handley children. I have many happy memories of travels and tennis with Mary Virginia and Leon . Such stories you will all be able to share to keep their memories alive!

Dear Hunter, Mary Ellen Laura and Leann, As many have said your Dad was a wonderful man . To me as a child he was a favorite neighborhood Dad. He always welcomed all of Leann friends to the house and on Handley adventures (Ranch , Beach , the Fair etc). He will be greatly missed by many and fondly remembered by me. Liz

Leon was truly a pillar of the community and of his church. He was a friend of my late parents, and never failed to greet me warmly when our paths crossed. A gentleman in all respects, his wonderful voice and reassuring manner always left one at ease. Orlando is so much richer to have been home to Leon Handley.
