"down by the station early in the morning", this song was sung by Leon in the 1st grade, in miss Halls' class in 1937. R.I.P. Leon. Never to be forgotten.

I wrote a remembrance. In it I put the Ambassador to Burma. He was the Ambassador from Burma.

I remember Leon arranging to have my husband Paul Listro and Paul's friend the Ambassador from Burma play a round of golf with him at the Pawtucket Country Club.

Dear Leon & Karen,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing; I was away and didn't learn of his death until just recently. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

To the Boghossian Family
My sincere sympathy. I just returned home from vacation and Paul told me of your loss. I read all the messages and can only add he never missed greeting me with that wonderful smile. Remembering all the fun times at the PCC pool. MY prayers.
March 28, 2016
My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Dear Dad: It is late on Easter Sunday and I found myself wanting to talk to you all day. I guess this is going to happen every time a holiday or special occasion comes up. I have been having a hard time accepting that you are no longer here with us- that you are not lying on the couch in your living room watching TV. I have so many memories of you - enough to last me the rest of my lifetime here on earth and for that I am very grateful. You and I shared a very special father/daughter bond. It's so amazing to me that you were one of the finest college professors during your teaching years, yet communication between us was not always easy. You may not have always spoken the words that I needed to hear during some trying times in my life, but somehow, you knew what I needed from you and you delivered your message to me in a unique and sincere way. There were so many of those times in my life that I depended on you for support and comfort and answers and you never failed me - even toward the end of your life you found the strength to guide me in mine. I don't believe that time heals our pain or that "it gets easier". I will forever grieve the loss of my great father. It is because of you that I am the woman I am today. I have a wonderful husband and daughter. Tara is lucky that you were part of her life for almost nineteen years and were able to help guide and mold her into a respectful and kind young lady. You had such a great impact on her life as well as on Jamie's life. He loved you as much as he loved his own father and is feeling quite sad that you are gone. He will miss all of your talks and times spent together. Dad, I have so much more I want to say to you but I think for now I will just say that I love you so much, I miss you so much, and I will never go a day without thinking about you and all that you mean to me. You were a special father, a man of few words but a man with a heart full of love and kindness and compassion. Happy Easter Dad and enjoy resting in God's hands where you will forever remain safe and free from any more pain and suffering. Mom is doing well. We are all taking great care of her and she knows you are keeping an eye on her. When she is ready, the two of you will be together again in heaven where everything is possible!

I met Leon at Johnson & Wales in the early 1970's. He was an adjunct instructor and was loved by his students. We conversed between classes on a daily basis. I knew you were a wonderful husband and father since I worked with Licia. You were highly regarded at JWU. Farewell my friend.

Dear Boghosssian Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences for Mr. B. It was delightful to be in his company, especially out on the links. His dedication as a husband and family man was matched by his dedication to teaching the thousands of young men and women who were lucky enough to be his students. He had a wonderfully dry sense of humor, and such a kind and gentle disposition.
We are keeping Mr B and all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
All our love,
Ted, Nicole, & Clyde

It is with sadness that I read of Mr Boghossian's passing. In the 80's I attended his class in Accounting at CCRI. He taught with such caring that I would never go into class without my assignments being done. Sincere condolences to all who loved him.
