    So sorry to hear about Uncle Leon passing away. I watched the wonderful photo book you made. Brought back lots of memories of him at the lake always joking and teasing us kids. He was a fun Uncle. My heart goes out to you and your kids. He’s with Aunt Joan now and having fun for sure! I planted an entire grove of trees in his name! We will have to go up to Superior National Forest to see his trees! Take care and be safe.
