Uncle Leo, (Godfather), I thought about you so often. The last time I saw you was after your brother George, (my father), passed away at a Michigan family reunion. It was a sad time for me, but you made every effort to cheer me up. I have many memories about you, especially at the family farm in Fullerton, ND. I remember the time my sister Kitty and I got locked in the well house. We managed to escape through a small opening where the water pipe filled the water trough, I don't know how we did it, but you were laughing so hard, it looked like you were crying. That's just one of the many memories that I reflect on when I think of you. When you get to where you're going, of course Heaven, say hello to my Dad. He is very much missed, as you will be.
