Leon was a very special person. He was brave we know because of his service in Viet Nam. He was kind and had the most beautiful blue eyes of anyone I have known. The had an innermost light. He was keenly observant and always chose to remain in the background. In spite of his remarkable good looks and extreme intelligence, he was modest. He rode with my dad to work at Cessna. He was diligent and ethical in his work related role. I am proud to say he and I are related (second cousins). I have very fond memories of going to grade school with him and his brothers, since they lived over the hill from us. My condolences to Raphael, Kenny and Virgil. I know he is in heaven, and I hope we will all see him there someday. Sadness and admiration fill my heart. Ginny Seidl Charles
