Leo was one of the goofiest & nicest guys I have ever known. He did not only love his family so much, he also respected all of those around him. I have never heard him say anything bad about anyone & no one can say he has ever made anyone feel uncomfortable in his presence either. A no nonsense kind of guy but always greeted you with the warmest smile or with a silly joke. My heart aches for all of those who love him & will miss him so much. R.I.P. Leo a/k/a Goofball
So sad..Leo was a great dad, friend, and man. People could take a lesson from him. Wonderful person. He will be missed greatly by all.
It really hurts when you think you’re going to see Leo walking around the corner with his dog and you stop and talk and always think you will see him again the next day or later that night and then all the sudden he’s gone he will be dearly missed by a lot of us we love to Leo great guy wonderful dad and one heck of a neighbor I’ll tell you my condolences to the family and friends of Leo and may the Lord comfort and heal you during this time of loss
