Leo's generosity assisted many serving missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those he quietly helped either financially or by other means including completing tax returns for up to 200 friends annually at no cost. Valued for his common sense, humour and warmth Leo's life included working hard initially in London and finally Rexdale as a foreman for a paper products firm. He returned to Utterson sharing a home with his sister Patricia for 13 years.
