Leon's smile and personality brightened many a day for all of us in the "Hum". We shared a love of Girard and "doo-wop". We are all better people for having known you. Goodbye, my friend.

Leon: You had a great journey in this life and I know you will have a better one in the next. I will miss Nelia's and your trips to Alaska and I look back on that short time spent together during a portcall and wish we had made it much longer. God bless you and yours.

I Did Not Die



Do not stand at my grave and forever weep.

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn’s rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.

I am not there. I did not die.

Lee was one of those individuals who brought happiness into the lives of others at Girard. His sense of humor and winning smile will be long remembered. Farewell to a good Girard brother.

Im deply saddened in hearing of Lee's illness and passing. He was loved and appreciated by all his Girard Classmates. His affection for us and things Girard were shown by the many times he journeyed to the East for Girard's Founder's Day observations and class functions. His ready smile, his great sense of humor and his love of life will remain forever in our memories.



God Bless,



Dave (Spade) Palmer, Girard Classmate

Nelia, Loel, Bert,

I'm sadden to hear of Leon's passing.

I'm a member of Girard '56. I have fond memories of Leon and many of his classmates. I remeber Leon coming home on Founders Day and playing in the GCAA Golf Tourn. His smile and personality always was there for others to enjoy. He loved Girard College and "Hummers".Leon will sorely be missed by many, many Fiends/brothers. As the Pres. and brother,I wish to express my sympathies and condolences, to you,and all of '57, from the Girard College Alumni Assoc. Nick Silvano '56.

Lee and I go back a long time-- to Girard College where we met, shared many fine experiences as young boys in a private boarding school. Our God father,Stephen Girard, provided this wonderful opertunity to grow from boys to men(age 8 to 18).

Lee was loved by many--his mother,his wife, children and many many friends. We will all miss him and cherish his memory.
