I WILL LIKE TO SHARE ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES WHEN LEO LED OUR BIBLE STUDY FOR MANY YEARS IN HIS HOME FOR MANY YEARS. THANK YOU FOR BEING A WONDERFUL FRIEND. THANK YOU LEO GOD BLESS. RON AND JEAN MILLER
When I think of Leo I think of him laying on our living room floor and letting the grandkids climb on him. I also think of his sweet, gentle, loving nature and the smile that always made you feel special.
But mostly I remember his warm hugs.
I was so lucky to have him as a Father-in-Law.
To Dawn, Wade, Thad and Jed - I am so sorry for your loss, but I am also so glad you got to have him for your Dad (and sometimes Mom)
To Grace - I remember the first time I met you both - it was at church and I was so nervous, but you both welcomed me with open arms and that never stopped, even years later. I know the love you had for Leo and now his Legacy will continue in his children and grandchildren. You were his love and his life and his eyes would light up when you entered the room. He truly loved you.
I know his Faith has carried him to be with the angels in Heaven.

Dawn and Wade, Your father was one people who made me the man I am today. He nurtured my love of science and physics at THS. He along with my father George, led many a boy through Boy Scouts with Troop 55. My memories growing up in Truman always include him, Long and vivid will be his memory. Chuck V
I have so many fond memories of Uncle Leo and my cousins Dawn, Wade, Thad and Jed. Many of those memories are from the many times Leo brought the kids to Grandpa and Grandma Clausen's farm on Sunday afternoons and holidays. I looked forward to his handwritten Christmas card each year. My sympathy to Grace and the whole family who I'm sure will miss is gentle presence.
Dawn and family,sincere sympathies to you all. Hugs and Gods peace to you all.Jerry and Debbie Langford
I worked many years with Leo in Truman Scouts. What a wonderful, kind , generous man, both of his time and his spirit in everything he did. RIP.
May beautiful memories of Leo always linger in your hearts, and may the God of all comfort carry you through your grief.Isa.25:8 ;26:19
