Spending time with loved ones was Leon’s priority. Whether throwing together an eight-course family meal in an hour or showing up for a 5 am golf outing with friends, he was always kind, dependable and driven by a strong generosity of spirit. Among his greatest passions were raising his three dogs and building a lifetime of love with his wife, Christine.
