Leo will be sadly missed by our family.
Many an evening was spent trying to beat him at cribbage. I can see him now walking through those purly gates, spotting Guido & Mary, and saying "So what the hell is a morausco anyhow ?"

"Mr. Gleason" (as we knew him) was always an effervescent presence whenever we visited Mary or Kathy at the house. We remember him fondly and keep him as a model for living each day with a positive attitude.

May the sadness of his passing be replaced with happily cherished memories of his dedication to life and love of family.

May God grant peace to Leo and all the Gleason family.
