I worked with Leo for only a short time but he was a person you don't forget. Always friendly and speaking to everyone. Always talking about his wife and family and excited about time with them when he was off. Each day when it was time to leave he would tell us to stay and be safe. Prayers have gone up for the past year and will continue for his family now.
We offer our condolences to the family on the passing of Pookey. He has fought an uphill battle with health issues for sometime. Of all the times you probably thought you could not handle what was before you, yet God gave you strength to continue. He enabled you to do what sometimes seemed impossible.
