I have known Leon for 51 years, met him on my 17th birthday while he was in the army stationed in Colorado. Oh how we loved each other even when we parted company. Leon Jr, Thanks for letting me know and I pray that God will continue to comfort you and your family during this time of loss. Much Love to you all.

Leon,
One of the many older cousins who use to whip on me and taught me how to duck in a fist fight. He and the older cousins protected us from others and we all learned the meaning of family.
