  1. With deepest sympathies as you remember Leon. Wishing everyone in the family moments of peace and comfort as you reflect on the memories shared. Regards, The Casey Family (Lisa, Matt, Carol and James)

  2. My beloved loyal friend of almost twenty years, “Uncle Leon” as my kids referred to you. You have gone away too soon and my heart has a permanent hole. Thank you for the memories, for being there for me and all of the people who needed you! I hope you have found the peace you so deserve. You are sorely missed!

  3. Leon and I were friends for over 30 years. So many memories of good times, good food and good music shared. Long conversations about life and love, good and evil, dreams and reality, and above all else-living a full and interesting life. Lenny spoke lovingly of his sons and grandchildren, and spent long hours searching for special gifts for them. He was a social being and always up for a gathering or celebration. Knowing him expanded my views and my heart. He will be missed by my husband and I, and our daughter JoElla. I treasure the time we had together. Condolences to his family and many friends.
