Jason was an exceptionally talented artist as he went through the years at Greenland Central School with my own children. At a birthday party for my oldest, Brad, we had a fun game of looking at a picture and trying to copy it as best you could. When I saw Jason's I asked if he had traced it because of his perfect replication but all the boys said that Jason was awesome and he did it himself.

Cute as a button, he was given a gift the recipients of will forever cherish.

Sharon and family...
I am just learning of Leo's passing today. To say that I am sad is an understatement. I've known Leo for many years. He always made me laugh! He was a good guy to be around. Full of life! We shared some good times back in the day. I'll never forget those old friend! Sharon, I am so so so sorry! Love you my friend! Shawn Mitchell
