Leon Bufano

Daddy...I miss you so very much. Always in my heart. Your memory is my daily blessing...

I just found this notice today on 4/8/2020. Many years ago, I was one of Leon's doctors. He was an extremely sweet and memorable man, always very kind to me. Our visits were very enjoyable, I think, to both of us. I seem to recall he was a P-51 fighter plane guy, quite possibly a pilot. We did talk quite a bit about the war, though I cannot remember much of that. He encouraged me to wear the Elgin pocket watch that my wife gave to me in 1977 for our wedding. Because of a list of serial numbers that Leon was able to produce, we determined that this watch was made in 1911. He gave me a watch chain of his to encourage me to wear the watch. I recently got the watch out, which still runs, but gains ~2 minutes/day despite adjustment of the regulator. Because of his encouragement, I'm going to have it serviced...he would have liked that. A very sweet guy that I hope to meet again in heaven.

Judy and family, We were sad to hear of Lee's passing. Lee was always a delight to talk to and he will be missed. May he rest in peace and you find comfort in the memories made. God Bless. xox

Peace and eternal happiness to you.

You are why I enlisted in the Air Force, and that changed the path of my life in so many ways, ones that made me a better man.

It was an honor to know you.

My Sincere condolences to you, Judy and your family. You don't know me, but Lee Was my first supervisor as a physical therapist at visiting nurse service. Pleasant remembrances of a very kind gentle man.
Blessings sent to all.

Very sorry to hear of Mr. Bufano's passing. He was such a nice and interesting man. Sending love and prayers to his family.
