I will always remember when you took me to see my daughter "saying that no one should go without seeing their kids". The times we had together were always fun and I will look back at our little trip to Boone this past fall. :) I will think of you when I pass by IWD. You would have a big smile on your face when you saw me walk in to see you. I will miss you!! Now you are out of your pain. Rest in Peace

I had the opportunity to know Leo while I worked at 430 E Grand. My favorite memory of Leo was swapping tattoo stories, hearing his adventures on his motocycle and seeing his face light up when I brought brownies to share. He will be missed by all who were greeted by his infectious smile. My sympathies to your family during thsi time. -Kate

Leo, when you said to me on Tuesday 'Darlin, you only live once", i didn't know it was going to be the last thing you said to me. I will miss you and will always remember your humor and acceptance of all things. Rest in peace my friend.

Adam, Iowa Workforce wont be the same without your father. He kept us entertained here at work. He could take the teasing as well as he could give it out. You and your family are in my thoughts in prayers. Kelly

Leo,
You were a mentor and friend. You always encouraged me when I was down. I'm going to miss being called "sweetie". Since Fridays were your fault you always said you will hold all problems to give to me on Monday since things were my fault then. I guess it's up to me now to carry the load. I will truly miss you and always do my best to keep smiling.
Adam your dad was a great man and truly loved. Too many of our customers he was Iowa Workforce and he did it well. God Bless you!
