    Family, i'm so sorry for your loss. I have known Leon from my Crawford Morris Labor Company days in the late 70's when he ran with Gordon Vaught. He to me was ALWAYS a kind and thoughtful man. NEVER seen him upset at cross at anyone/thing in my life. I knew i had not seen him in a Ford delivery van in a while and wondered how/where he was. I will miss him. He is a very very good man.

    Leon was a cherished first cousin and my Mom Amaline's cherished nephew - always quiet, but with a grin and a twinkle in his eye. He will be missed. Much love and sympathy to his brother Steve and family, as well as his many children and their children. All the bells in heaven rang to welcome him home.
