What our dad loved most was his family. Nothing lit him up more than his grandbabies and great-grandbabies. He loved playing with them, laughing with them, and just being in their world. You could see it on his face — that pure joy, that pride. Around them, he softened even more than he already was.
Falgout Funeral Home is honored to serve the Legleu family.
