aunt on their farm in Bayfield and driving the tractor. He was a

for drawing horses and cougars while babysitting his nieces and
nephew. Leo enjoyed watching wrestling and spending time with his
grandchildren. He had a great sense of humour and was always joking
and teasing his family and friends. Most of all, Leo was a God-fearing
and dedicated child of God who always read his
bible.
