I'm so sorry to hear of Leo's passing. I first met him when I was a kid. He worked for the Bd of Rec at Belltown field supervising us playing touch football after school. I then was proud to work with him as a letter carrier at the Stamford Post Office from 1970-74. He was one of the most kindest and soft spoken people I've ever known. May he rest in peace.

Lillian, I was so sorry to hear of Leo's passing. He was one of my favorite cousins. As a kid, I also looked up to him when he was in the Air Force. My best wishes to you and the boys. God bless.
