So sorry to hear about Leo. We had touched base recently on Facebook. My parents were his brother Harry's godparents, and I remember spending time at the Sotiros home often. It was a wonderful family. May his memory be eternal.

Rest in Heavenly peace with “Keke” you were a good man who love and cared for his family. I remember that one ‘all nighter’ at your house while we were waiting for one of the ‘Berber’s’ to deliver her puppies. Think I remember waking up on your couch - I wasn’t much help, but the women got the job done. You will be missed my Friend.

Heaven has gained an amazing angel and the world has lost an amazing man. He was so kind, caring, intelligent and dearly loved by his beautiful daughter Stephanie. Leo is now with his beautiful wife and now rest in peace in our Heavenly Father’s loving embrace.
