I am so sorry for your loss. My family lived at Howard and Crawford and we all loved to go into Leon's Deli. My mother who never drove loved to walk over to his store and talk a little and shop.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I went to East Prairie in the early 80's. My friends and I have spent the day today reliving the great tuna salad and baked goodies we got at Leon's. I also had a chance to talk to your mother at a talk by Elie Wiesel in the late 80's and hear a bit of your family's story.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of your Dad from his days at the Deli. I went to East Prairie School and TBI and frequented the store quite often. He was a wonderful man.

I am so terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your father, Regina. I truly would like to hear more of his story along with your mother's when you are up to it. They were truly an amazing couple and I am so glad that I got to know them in my Chicago days along with seeing them at Steven's wedding. My very heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
