Uncle Leon was like our second father. There was nothing that he wouldn't do for us. He always had a fond memory, a story, or his remembrance of growing up in Peru. His kindness, his service to our country, and his love of the Tolen family will be cherished in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with Geri, our cousins, and their families. from Wayne's kids.
