Uncle Leon was a very thoughtful man with an amazing sense of humor.I have many fond memories of him! As a kid I can remember he always offered hundred thousand grand candy bars and soda anytime you walked in his house. I can remember many weekends were my family would get together with both Unlce Leon and Aunt Sis, we always had so much fun together! I am very thankful for all the memories that I will carry with me. Uncle Leon will be missed very much.. With much love and admiration,Amie

My father-in-law was truly one of a kind. Set in his ways, established and set by the 'old school'. It was always very interesting for me to listen and watch while trying to figure out what he based his strong beliefs and opinions on. The one thing that was always certain is that I could go to him with ANY question on politics, policies or government and always get the most current information. He was my audio newspaper. For I did not have to read the newspaper, rather just go and visit my father-in-law. He would always bring me up to date on current issues whether I wanted to know or not. I miss my audio newspaper very much.I cannot explain why, but one of my fondest memories was when he would be sitting in his chair in the livingroom, stretch both legs out straight and bump (or pound) his heels on the floor. He would grin ear to ear while he did it. Sometimes letting out a loud "ohhhh!" This of course would make anyone within earshot look at him....he'd just be grinning. I remember Sis telling him to quiet down and asking why did he have to do that. He'd just keep grinning.....I remember going out to the house to cut his grass. Naturally, I showed up alone. Butch did not know I was going and Leon did not know I was coming. Once there he told me to sit and talk to him. So I did. Then I dropped the bomb! I was going to cut the grass! He told me there's no way I could do the lawn by myself. It's too dangerous! I ignored him and went on my way. I was on a mission! Before heading outside he made me promise not to take the rider lawn mower up and down the hill on the side of the house. I promised, as I really couldn't picture him picking the lawn mower off of me if I flipped over. Out to the shed I went. Got the mower out of the shed. Now to get it started...no gas. Looked for a gas can....no can. (Butch had it in his truck so he could get more gas on his next trip to do the lawn) So, in the house I go. "Hey, Dad? I need some money." "What for?" "There's no gas and no gas can." (Now..I would not have asked for money for this, but I was broke) He hands me money and asks if I know where to go. Yup, I know where to go. Then comes the obvious question, "Do you know how to work the pump?" I chuckled and left. I think he knew the answer to that one. I came back and got the rider running and proceeded to buzz around the lawn cutting it nice and low. When I was done I kind of broke the ramp to the shed trying to get the rider back in. Oops...didn't tell him about that one. But the rider was now in the shed safe and sound. Can I tell you that he sat on the porch and watched me the entire time I mowed? He was a little nervous about me doing this by myself. After I was done, he tryed to pay me. Again, another chuckle from me with no response. I did not take the money and he was ok with that. He told me he was impressed with my job that day. I told him, I learned from watching Butch.More fond memories of when he and Sis would come for dinner. He would never make his plate. Butch made it for him. Like clockwork, Butch would bring him a heaping plate of food and Leon would insist that he could never eat that much. Still Butch would hand him the plate. And every time, Leon would clean the plate and then say how he really wasn't hungry. That would always make Butch laugh. He'd say, "Look at Dad. And he said he wasn't hungry." Nobody ever challenged Leon, asking "I thought you said you weren't hungry?" We just knew the routine and expected it. I would always leave it up to Butch to get his plate for him because Butch always got such a charge out of his Dad's reaction to the plate of food. I would cook him a 77 course meal today if it would bring him back for just one more dinner....I miss him. Butch misses him. The kids miss him. He will never be forgotten. The kids and I have already been talking about the funny things he would say and do. And we talk about them with smiles and happy memories. We love you, Leon!Your Daughter-In-Law,Kim

He was my Grandfather. A man so highly admired by me. A very open and opinionated person. I now know where I get that characteristic from.I never thought there would be a day I would not have him. Yet I remain strong; not only for me or my family, but for him and my Grandmother.There will never be a day, I will not carry him with me in my heart.I love you Grandpa, and I miss you dearly. Your Grand-daughter,Amanda

Dad was always there for us. He was our tower of strength when we were small, and our best friend when we became adults. He loved us unconditionally, his actions a testimony to this love. You will be dearly missed. I will love you forever. Your daughter, Darlene.
