Leo served in the US Marine Corps in World War II in the Asian Pacific Theater, 3rd Marine Division. In 1944 he was awarded the Purple Heart.

He did his Friday night "banking" at the legion every Friday. He was an avid cribbage player, teaching all, right down to the grandchildren. He loved his Kubota, gardening, and wood working for many years in his shop. Leo enjoyed many days cutting wood up on the hill with family at his side preparing for the winter months. At the end of a long day, he made one drink his own, his famous Manhattan.

Leo will be fondly remembered by his favorite saying, "It's a crazy world out there!"
