Leo was an avid sports fan. He enjoyed going to local racetracks and watching sports, especially basketball on television. However, what gave him the most joy was going out and cheering on his grandsons at their soccer games as both players and later his grandson's team as a coach.

Leo will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.
