Alberta, Michael and Lisa - To say that a great and unique man has passed is an understatement. I loved Leon and all the stories shared between he and my Dad "Big Mike" and with you Alberta and my mother Mary. I'm sure he was welcomed with wide arms at the gates by my mom and dad. May you all find comfort in reflecting upon fond memories together as you mourn his passing. May he rest in peace. With love across the miles - Amy

Sorry for your loss. My childhood would not have been the same if Leon wasn´t in it. Kind, caring and understanding man he was. My best memories are playing horseshoes with him helping him out at work and the darn 3 wheeler. Man he loved that thing. Hope you´re riding it again up there Leon!!! Your a great man!!
