Leo was part of my family for as long as I can remember. We shared the same birthday. What I will remember most about him was how kind and gentle he was, and how many wonderful stories he had to tell. I am so thankful to him for being a wonderful father-in-law to my sister. Rest In Peace, Leo.
Leo was always smiling. We had such good visits with him and will miss him very much.
God bless his family.

We are sending you our condolences on the passing of Leo. What a wonderful life he had. Georgia and Jean (Fetting) Scow
What a treasure it was to have Uncle Leo in our lives and to all who knew him. His kind gentle spirit will be missed by all. With deepest sympathy.
Roger turned white when I shared the news of Leo's passing, as he said he was just thinking about him yesterday morning while he was feeding cows and overlooking the Waumandee Valley. It does kind of give you goose bumps to wonder why you would think of someone out of the blue, on the same day before you find out he is on his way to heaven. He was a wonderful man and raised some very special people as well - he done good!!!
Such a great, kind man! Thinking of you all and sending many XOXO's.
