Rip Leo !!! You where my 1st childhood friend and I will always remember those days. We had so much fun growing up on Elm Street and you where a huge part of my life. You had a happy, cheerful disposition that everyone liked. Cannot find the words to express how much you will be missed. You where truly a special guy. My condolences to your family. Love you Buddy.
