Jim Glasgo wrote a sympathy message

“So sorry for your loss. Leo was one of my best friends growing up in Galva. We had many adventures growing up together. I shared my first cigarette with Leo. We were about 12 at the time. I know I got sicker than a dog; We also climbed the Galva water tower along with my brother Jack. I got caught they didn't. He was a wonderful friend to grow up with. Once again so sorry for your loss. Jim Glasgo”
