Leo,
My memories of us as children and the many things you taught me, especiallly how to climb a tree, will remain in my heart.
You told many that I was your best friend but I know that You were mine. How many brothers would want their younger sister following them around? You never made me feel that I was not wanted.

My life's paths did not allow us to have alot of "human" visits but you were always with me in "Spirit".

Last Fall, when we hugged, I did not know that that would be our last " human" touch. I told you then, that you have a "Beautiful Spirit". You looked at me with your smile as if to say "not me".

Even though God has taken you from our human touch, you have managed to let me know that your "Beautiful Spirit" still and will remain with me forever teaching me things.
Till we meet again in spirit my best friend,Love Karen.

Uncle Leo. A good man, a caring and compassionate father, a blessing to have as a brother, an honor to have as an uncle and most of all proud to have as a son. All our love and prayers to you Uncle Leo, and all that hold you close in their hearts.

Leo had the greatest sense of humor. I will always remember his impression of Roy Orbison and the childhood game of gorilla warfare. I will miss him.

Leo was always making me laugh in the short time I knew him. Eating his garlic and telling me stories. I'm glad he never got me with the family dog. I'll miss you Leo!!
