Yvonne and I will too miss you Uncle Leo. You were a bright star and pillar for our family for a l-o-n-g time. Yvonne told me many times about your witnessing to her, throughout the years, about Jesus. I remember how excited I was to meet you, for i was a new Christian and sure enough there was a comradery between us. You and Marilyn, and your precious family was etched in our hearts then. You sent me home with what you said was your favorite commentary to the book of Revelation. We could always rely on you to be a man of God, a confidant, and someone we could trust with prayer. I am sure Lori, Ben, and David will miss you. I pray the Spirit that changed you would guide and comfort them. Thank you for your faithfulness and your life. We will meet again, just not yet! =)
Joe, Yvonne, and family

What a wonderful man, a great cousin, a beautiful life. As children we played together; as young men we discussed the bible and I could not help but admire his dedication to the scriptures; and through the years, his continual devotion to his faith and God gave me a great example of what it means to be a faithful Christian. Always positive, always gregarious, always friendly, always smiling. Words cannot lessen our sorrow nor alleviate the depth of our sadness that we feel by Leos passing. Our world has lost a beautiful soul who loved and gave love to each of us. Cousin Leo through the years, I laughed with you, played with you, prayed with you, and now I truly miss you.

Leo was a fine cousin and I remember his infamous smile and how well he treated others. Since I live in St. Louis, MO I have not seen Leo in many years, however, the memories are fond and he has moved to a better place. Love to him and his family.

You surely will be missed Leo. You were a great brother. Ed, I and our family were glad you got to see Pennslyvania with Ernie, Mary and Jesse. We had a great time. Always enjoyed talking with you by phone and visiting with you when we were out that way. You can now enjoy that beautiful life in heaven.
Love,
Bonnie and Ed
