Condolence: I spent some time with my good friend Leon before his passing. We had talked about his relationship with Jesus Christ. So knowing he was ready to go makes it easier. When we talked he always mentioned his wife Jan and his family. He was real proud of them. He told me about growing up in Concrete, going to school, about his jobs, guys he'd work with, and about his and Jan's travels. We talked about every old time logger and trucker in the valley. We always found something to talk about. You couldn't find a kinder man than Leon. Leon was loved by his family and so many others and will be dearly missed.

Condolence: Leon was a wonderful friend, very caring of all and one of the gentlest person we've ever known. He is going to be missed by all of us that were lucky enough to have him in our lives. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jan and the family.
