When I think of Leo, I remember a gentle soul who was a hard working family man quick to laugh and enjoy life. He touched many people deeply and his memories will be forever in our hearts. But for now much sorrow in this tragic loss. My sincere sympathy to so many, especially Leah Rae and Tim. May time and the loving support of family and friends comfort you.
