Leo enjoyed being outdoors and being on the water. He loved to bass fish, catfish and sit on Indian Lake ice fishing when he was able. He loved spending time with his family and friends and especially his grandkids and great-grandkids. He also enjoyed sitting and watching Fox News so he could complain. He will truly be missed by his loving dog, Annie, who was always by his side.
