Rest in peace Leo, you were a tough, fair, fun Ironworker and you are truly missed!!!
From the time I came into Local 86 back in the 1960’s, I always knew if I was going to a job that Leo was on, It was going to be a GOOD job. It was usually well run and I knew I was going to enjoy going to work. It must have been his Montana heritage.
