His kindness touched all that came in contact with him. Leon shared his love for life with everyone he knew. He was an avid jazz fan and boating enthusiast. He loved to travel and fully embraced all of life's adventures. Leon was part of a multi-generational garment business made stronger with each generation. Leon was the President and owner of Briggs Women Sportswear. He was a passionate supporter of the Beth Israel Hospital and was very proud to be a board member. He will be missed by all who recognized his zest for life and knew he always did it his way. Private Graveside Services will be held at Sharon Memorial Park.
