This loss of our Uncle Leo will be felt through our entire family. We have great memories of our visits to Uncle Leo and Aunt Toni. A trip to visit them was always a treat. We enjoyed playing dice or cards with them. Uncle Leo was a real jokester. Sometimes you had to really think about what he just said because there was always an underlying joke in there somewhere. When we lived closer, Tim would make liver and onions and bring half for Uncle Leo because Aunt Toni and I did not cook or eat liver.
We love and will miss you Uncle Leo, until we meet again in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Zimmerman family.
