Very sad news. It was a long time ago, but I think I remember Leon from riding the bus at Southampton Summer Day Camp in the 1970s? The nicest guy, along with his two siblings. Someone had a bunk picture with him on facebook.

I also work at NIH but the place is so big I never realized he also worked there.
