One of my earliest memories as a kid is of him. I can see his face vividly. He sat me down on a mantel in our house. I must have been a baby or toddler.

This was a wonderful, kind, loving, considerate and caring man. My memories of him are fond -- he & I shared a typical Uncle/nephew relationship. He will always be my Uncle Leon.

He was a caring and loving man and I miss him.
