Dear Barb,

Much love and sympathy coming from John and me to you and Leo's family.

We have many happy memories of Leo and you, especially in the "San Diego" years when we seemed to have more time to get together than we did in the "Chicago-Rush" years. You introduced us to several of our favorite San Diego restaurants!

We will remember Leo fondly.

Love, Mary Ellen and John

My husband, Wally, and I worked with Leo at Bankers Life and Casualty many years ago. He was always pleasant and I still have his cheese cake/pudding recipe which I labeled 'Leo's Dessert'. Our sympathies to his family.
