James,
We are sorry to hear of Leo\’s passing. May God be with you and Betty in this time of sorrow.
Uncle I will miss you so much. But will always remember your good nature and making jokes out of so many things!! Will cherish all the memories of your involvement in my life and my sisters, Margie and Rosie. The roller skating trips on Friday nights, the Dunkin Donut stops on our way home. And Christmas will never be the same as the ones we had on Hanover Street. Thanks for all the great memories. And of course you and Moon Pie. Your dog you loved so much….Please God bless our family at this hard time.

Your in our thoughts and prayers.
