Dear Laura,
I am so sorry to hear of Leo's sudden passing. It seems like yesterday the night we met him. I always reminisce of your wedding and how beautiful everything was from the venue to the tables to the wild reception. Leo was a man of many talents. I will reach out during my next visit to Boston. God Bless Leo and thank you for your service.

We have known Leo for many years and always enjoyed our conversations. Leo was very thoughtful always checking to make sure we got our orders for our pet business. He drove up to our store in Ellsworth,Maine once and he would joke about how far it was between exits and thought he would never make it . We always got a chuckle at the trade shows when I would see him. Leo was a genuine man always ready to help anyway he could. Our deepest condolences to your family. God Bless ...

Laura, Glenn and I are so very sorry to hear of Leo's passing. He was such a good man and such an animal lover. He used to drop off food for our many cats years ago and it was always fun to see him cruise up the street in his Mustang, waving as he would go by. If there's anything we can do, we're here for you. We'll be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and we will be making a donation In Leo's name to Nine Lives of Norton. God bless you both...

I first met Leo when he worked at Conlon & Donnelly in Mansfield. It was always great to see him. He was just at the kennel a few weeks ago to make sure we got our Christmas cookie order in early. Leo was a great guy and we will miss him. Our condolences go out to the family.
