i work at starbucks.. over the past few months he was one of my regulars and came in w coworkers. his sense of humor instantly made me remember him and i was always happy to see him come in and he'd ask me how i was and we'd genuinely talk or joke or whatever. he always seemed genuinely happy. it really hurt my heart to hear that he's gone. i really didn't know him well at all but that i'll never see him come into my starbucks again breaks my heart. i wish i could have known him better but i'm really glad i knew him at all. much love to the family..

Chris and Grace, We are so sorry to hear of Leo's death. We've know Leo since he was a small boy at St. Anthony School. He remained friends with our son Joe. He would stop over periodically. Always with a huge hug and a smile on his face. Our hearts are breaking for you--we know your pain. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
