Leon is forever indebted to Dottie for the gentle care she provided as he passed from this world into God's kingdom. Most importantly Leon leaves behind his 4 grandchildren; Lucas, Theo, Norah, and Emily to whom he is known lovingly as 'Grampy'. Leon's face truly lit with any visit from his grandchildren.
