I was saddened to read of Leon's passing, he always treated me with kindness and always had good words to share. Many years ago I painted parts of his home place and we shared many good conversations.
I will miss you Leon, but I will continue to pass on your memory.

Leon was a class act. I will miss him, but I know he will now have many happy days with my father, his old friend, as they enjoy each other's company in heaven. I will always remember him as someone who, like me, thought Peacham, Vt. was one of the best places on earth. Rest in peace, Leon
