Leo was an active member of Cornerstone United Methodist Church
and had accepted Jesus as his savior. He was loved by his church
family and will be sorely missed.

Leo was a kind person, with an easy smile and a quiet sense of
humor. He enjoyed fishing, wood working, painting and
gardening. Leo had a generous heart and a love for life. Leo never
turned down a good meal and he loved his sweet treats. He enjoyed
classic Rock and Roll and Country Music.

May he rest in peace.
