Mr. Leon Preston "Small" Catlin

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend, & Brother-in-Christ! Small as he was affectionately called was a gentleman. As a young girl growing up in the Grove on Bloodgood Street, he always made sure that we were safe crossing streets, walking from school or going to Finley's Drugstore/Butler's Grocery Store!
During those days, our neighborhood was a like a "village" which emphasized that a child´s upbringing is a communal effort involving many different people and groups, from parents to teachers to neighbors and grandparents. We all knew each other and everybody looked out for each other!
As time passed and we all moved out of the "village, running into each other was such a good feeling and having our little talk about our days in the Grove! Sleep on Brother, I will miss running into You!

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We love you Annette, Tamon & Theresa.

Vera Williams (Phil) and Family, send our Condolences to the Family. Sorry for your loss. Our Prayers goes out to Annette and Family. Fly High Mr. Leon Small Catlin.

Our heart felt sympathy goes out to your family in this time of bereavement and sorrow.
May God fill this missing link with love, peace and understanding. May beautiful memories bring a smile to your face and warm your grieving heart.
Love and condolences,
The Wright Family
Jennifer, Love, Fred & Heaven
