My heartfelt sympathy to Leo’s family.
Every early morning the residents of Highland Hills could expect he sun to rise and Leo to be walking. On occasion he would sleep in. he’d tell me, when I would.catch up with him on my later walk. He was an inspiration to me and to many others as he waved to motorists on their way to work or stopped to talk to neighbors. He always left people laughing. There are those who become a spirit of the neighborhood. He was definitely that. Rest in peace Leo.
Linda and Jimmy Joe and Family. Our hearts and prayers are with your father and all of you. Bless you all.
