May love and strength be with all those who Leon's heart touched during his lifetime. He was truly a special man. May his love for life live on in all the people who were fortunate enough to be a part of his life. May the sorrow pass and leave only wonderful memories of a truly special man.

He was my second father for many years, I will cherish his memories for the rest of my life. He was always there for me when I needed him, and now I pray I may continue his kindness by being there, for all who loved him as I did. God Bless.
