I just heard the news about Mr. Leon. This makes me so sad. He was one of my all time favorites at Crittenden County Farm Bureau. I lovingly called him “Leon the Peon.†He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for everyone he met. Prayers for all who loved him and that is a whole lot of people.

To the family: Leon was a fine man. 72 and 73 years ago I blocked for him and he made the touchdown for the Hughes Blue Devils. You are in my prayers....RG

What joy there must be in Heaven now that Leon and Marguerite are together again and in God’s presence! They were such a wonderful example of what a happy marriage can be but Larry and I are sorry for the loved ones who will miss them so.
May God bring you comfort and peace in the days to come without them.
