I'm one of Louise Waterhouse Engel's daughters. She had a special affection for Leo. I think those cousins got together often when they were younger, plus the two of them were very close in age. Her birthday was August 7, 1922. My mom was so literal and Leo was such a tease he could always get a rise out of her before she figured out he was just teasing. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.
