I am so extremely saddened to hear of Leo’s passing. He has been a dear friend for many years, although I have only seen pictures of Grace, his daughter, I know that she was the light of his life for sure! I also know that he will be missed by all who knew him. He was one of a kind… A good man with a heart of gold. I have only just found out of his passing when I tried to call him and his phone was disconnected, and so I decided to Google his name. I am hoping to be at his celebration of life in August. Sending sincere condolences to Grace and his family. Rest in peace.,, Leo.❤️🌹❤️
