I have always been very touched by the very romantic story about how Uncle Leo and Auntie Laurie met. Apparently he took one look at Laurie and knew she was the woman for him. Their long and happy life together was a testament to the love they shared. Uncle Leo will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Lynn Purvis (cousin) on: Dec 03, 2015

I was sad to hear of Leo's passing. I will always remember the fishing stories, the trip to Pine Falls and those big family meals. I would have liked to attend the service, but I am unable. Peace be with you all. - Posted by: David Pedden (cousin) on: Dec 03, 2015

Leo and my father, Peter Thomas, were fishing buddies. They spent a LOT of time fishing together. He and my dad were good friends, and I have fond memories of Leo as well. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Condolences from Ralph Thomas, Averil Brent (Thomas) and our mother Ruth Thomas. - Posted by: Ralph Thomas (Leo's friend Peter Thomas" son.) on: Dec 01, 2015
