ing the death of his father in 1982, he accepted the responsibility of leading the familys successful business. He founded

Leo was family focused, community minded and public spirited. His generosity and kindness to others are legendary 
in the community of Richmond and Burke Counties. He fed the hungry, created jobs for the at-risk and under 
privileged, built/provided housing for bw income persons - often free of charge. The Richmond County Sheriffs 
Department was also beneficiary of his generosity. He donated space in the newly renovated headquarters of Utley

also donated his time, talent and materials to numerous church building projects irrespective of their religious affilia- 
tion.

Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow 
The same God who takes care of you today will take care of you tomorrow. 
Either He will shield you from sorroiv 
Or give you the unfailing strength to bear it. 
So be at peace and put aside your anxious imaginings.
