I was very sad to hear of Leon's passing. Who else but Leon could actually make you enjoy throwing the trash out! He always had a smile on his face, treated everyone like a long lost friend, and of course had 'Leon's Tunes' playing in the background. There were times when the line of cars was backed up to the pool simply because everyone wanted to stay and chat with him. He will be missed dearly by all.

Rest in peace, friend.

I am so sorry to hear the news. I had many conversations with Leon at garbage collection. He was always fun to talk to and had so much energy. I didn't know him well, but enjoyed our conversations very much. God bless his soul.
