Our hearts are in mourning as we remember our family friend, one of the most loving and talented people we had the pleasure and honor to know and partake with; the great Leo Vela.
Leo, a legend... he was my main inspiration to join the radio world back in the 80's, of which he was an icon. His love and passion for radio was beyond this world!
We will miss you dearly, and you'll always have that special place in our hearts from all the great memories of our times together.
He was a man of faith and boundless talent who left us with many happy and touching memories. A man that was never too proud to show his humanity and sensitivity. We will never forget you my friend, my brother, our joyful party buddy!
Rest in Peace Leo, we will miss you
Jack & Stella (Divina Luna)
