Leon, as I knew him, was a dedicated and faithful volunteer for Meals on Wheels for several years. He always made time to come and help deliver meals any time we needed him and he always greeted us with a smile. What a kind man he was. May he rest in peace!

I always enjoyed spending time with my Uncle Leon and Aunt Ruby. Although we lived states apart the distance seemed to disappear when we were together. My greatest joy was watching all the brothers and sisters get together at the reunions. They enjoyed telling childhood stories while playing cards or tiles and we would always find a pie shop and bowling alley.
Uncle Leon I will always miss you and remember the love you had for me
and my family.
Your Niece Rosanne
I loved spending time with Pete as his Chaplain. He was always ready to smile. He had a good personality and sense of humor.
Pete will be missed.
