Leo's words of wisdom will echo in my mind for many years to come. He was one of the most knowledgable people I've men in my life. He was always there with good advise and will sadly be missed.

I met Leo as his client. He was a light in the darkness of needed help. For my friend Cindy and I. We respected him and found him to be the best Attorney we could find. We will miss his guidance in law.

As Leo's former secretary, he trained me in legal matters as well as in life, religion, politics and the judiciary. Every day I worked for him was like being back in college. His insight was nearly always right on target; he was one of the smartest people I ever met and the most fearless. Those of us who knew him suffer the passing of an honest and true warrior. The Attilli family is in my prayers.

Leo and I have been close friends ever since we began preparing for the bar exam in 1963. His passing is a great loss to all of us. At a time like this words are really inadequate to express grief. Leo and his family will certainly be in my prayers.
