Uncle Leo You were the mentor that made Me the Man I am today. I´m Forever Grateful for All The Time You Gave Me Just To Guide Me Like I Was Your Son. I haven´t seen You in many years. But You´re always on My mind. Because Without You I wouldn´t have become the person I am today. Though nobody ever knew what You did for Me or meant to Me. That was Your persona. A crotchety old man with a heart of gold and the guidance of a REAL FATHER. Like I told Alan many many times You´re So Lucky to have a DAD Like him. I wish I was Your and Wayne´s brother and he was My Dad. See You Later. Rest Easy Uncle Leo....
