RIP JOE. May he live on in the hearts and memories of family and friends
Leon's Sabbath musings always revealed him to be a kind and gentle soul, possessed of a sincere inner peace. I hope his passing was pain-free...may he rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing to his loved ones.

Sorry to hear this, and condolences to all whose lives he touched.
He was one of the people around here whose posts always merited a read.

Sad to hear. His Sunday Sabbath threads were amongst my favorites and he always seemed to be a fine and kindly gentleman you would be pleased to have for a neighbor. Prayers for his family. RIP...

I emailed Miss Judy about this and stated she would see what she could do. She also said his funeral was today. God Bless Him.
I think this is the biggest issue I have with getting older. I myself am not too old yet, as I have 60 coming up later this year, but I see all too many posts and emails like this more and more these days. My condolences to his family and friends.

A quick story about Leon...A few years back he picked up an old doghouse (upright bass). The tenon neck joint was separating from the heel block. We messaged many times about how to fix it. He finally made it playable. It made me feel good that I could help.
A gentle, humble man.

Thank you for posting this. Leon got a lot of pleasure out of the forum.
The pleasure was ours. We miss him but we have his post history to remind us what the truly important, simple and joyous things are in daily life.
Leon was as grateful a man as I ever read about.
To quote him: "have a blessed day!"
I will genuinely miss that, always made me smile.
