I just found out about Leo's passing away and read your wonderful comments. You have every detail just right. Ruth was a difficult person at times, but affectionate and fair-minded. Leo had the patience of a saint. You are so right that he loved women. In the shop he had perfect taste and an elegant way about him. All of us loved him. I also was pleased to have met your great-grandfather several times! I wish everyone could have a relationship with their grandparents like you did and then write so beautifully. May they rest in peace. <br>Sincerely, Arlene K Sam, you don't know me, but I worked for your grandparents at the bridal shop for several years, and knew them well.

I know how much you loved my dad and how much and how proud he was of you. I always believed he was one of the good guys, the way he looked at life, people, issues, and reponsibilities. When we drove to Washington for Ronnie's birthday party, he talked about his life with my mom. How they lived in New Orleans, their time in Tampa, times that I always felt were the most happy for the two of them. Not that his childern, grandchildern and great-grandchildern did not bring him joy and love but his time with Ruth was different - young, exciting, full of energy, and the promise of a lifetime of happiness. Closing up his apartment was most difficult because it was closing a door on a part of my life. A part I was not ready to give up but was taken anyway. My dad said he had made a committment - to call everyone he loved at least once a week. Something I am going to take on.<br><br>Love Sam

I too lost my dearest friend my father. Your memories, and the fact that you so graciously shared them with others, is a testament to the goodness of your own soul and his teaching of you. I rejoice in your ability to so eloquently espouse his virtues and value. I can assure you that your depiction of his life has not gone unheard and he will live on in the minds of those you have shared his memory with. Peace to you, my friend, I hear your words.
