Leon miss you more than you´ll ever know...remember how we could lock eyes and hear each others thoughts, that cynical humor in each of us could result in a smile, roll of the eyes but most often a deep giggle from you and "I know what your thinking!" Know many, including mine, met you at The Gates and you continue as we all will remember you, with a hearty smile and waiting for us....Love Always to You and Yours...LASW
