Found this on the net and I was a good friend of Tsali's. Sad to see him go, but he was a good man. Always welcomed me into the house for dinner anytime.

Uncle Leslie was a giant among men. He gave so much to anyone in need and was loved by all who knew him. We would have a much better world if we could all live by his example.

To the Baumgartner Family:
The Moss family will cherish the memory of "Papaw", "Ish", and that not so "bumb-garden" of his! I will always remember some of our wonderful visits at the wall under that marvelous old tree. We loved him dearly!
