Leon worked in my barber shop on oildale Dr. I learned a lot from this man. Great barber and greater man.

Leon will always be my barber. I followed him to whatever shop he went to and then to his little shop in the backyard. Someone else may cut my hair but Leon is still my barber. Loved talking woodworking and radio remote planes. Rest in peace, JW

Leon cut my hair for thirty years. We swapped firewood for haircuts until he got a electric fireplace.We would talk about our gardens and r.c planes.I will miss our visits and his witty conversation.A good man.

I had the privilege of being Leon's karate instructor in the 1980's. He impressed us by earning his brown belt in his mid 50's. He also gave my son his first ever hair cut. My best wishes to his family. Grand Master Sifu Bruce Vasquez.

He was my sparring partner he invited me to his home and his punchbag. I went by his shop recently to invite him to join a few of the students and our sensei to a reunion but it was his birthday and he had plans. He didnt recognize me. Then again he had a customer and couldnt visit with me. But it was good to see him. RIP Leon Pete
