I miss you my friend!
Love Sue
I have only been with the district 2 years as a carpenter. Leon was a joy to be around and I always looked forward to going to his school….even if I showed up with the wrong parts for one of his work orders. He wouldn’t let it upset him. His pride and joy was his family and his new truck. I only wish to have had more oppurtunities to get to know him better. He will be missed.
I will get your dispensers mounted asap , leon. You were a great man.
Today I said farewell to a friend.Leon touched so many hearts with his kindness-and a smile-I will miss him greatly…..Safe Journey my friend.
