Leo was my LT. on nights, and was an EXCELLENT supervisor to work for. Mant times we would talk, and he always asked how my family was…we would also get into some deep conversations, and he would always say something to make us both laugh. He also did some electrical work at my home and really knew his stuff. RIP LT….you will be sadly missed!
