Mr. Leo raised me with his kids and always made sure we were well taken care of. I will miss him dearly. Forever grateful for everything you did for me. 
Until we meet again  Rest in his arms 

My Favorite memory is being out to Aunt Midge's house for a family function and I nervously walked up to Uncle Leo and asked "Hey great unk, do you know me?" He looked at me and smiled and answered "Yes I know you. you are Jean's Granddaughter and Lisa's baby girl." That just melted my heart to know that. I pray comfort and strength for the entire family. He was a awesome man and will definitely be missed. Asking for special prayers for my Grandma Beatrice Turner. She is the last sibling and  first niece left. She has watched all of her older family members be called to Glory. She only has one aunt alive now and it's Aunt Midge. Let's love endlessly and pray fearlessly.

Praying for the family for strength and comfort you have my condolences 

To the first man whom I have loved with my whole heart, Mr. Leo Whitfield.
    I will forever hold this one special memory of you and I sharing one full day together you stopping to buy black cherries for us to eat on our ride to Korhville for me to meet my beautiful aunt Molly for the first time, upon meeting her she didn’t disappoint... telling me how much I favored my grandmother ( Corine Whitfield  )  at that very moment I knew that I was  cared for and loved by the earthly Father who caused me to be.......

Too many memories of my GrandDaddy overload the data bank lol. Hard to single 1 in particular but I do excitingly remember one New Year's Eve (waayyy long time ago) where my GrandDaddy had a table laid outside with all types of firearms spreading across  it #facts. As 12:00 midnight became OFFICIAL  so did the gun shots on WestD and all surrounding areas.(You know its flex time💪🏾)  Now right after ANY burst of shots are heard and I do mean RIGHT AFTER ANY my GrandDaddy has to ASSURE us "that wasn't $%#@" as he grabs hold of something different (each time) from the table discharging it!!!🤣😂  R.I.H. Leo Whitfield (GrandDaddy). Definitely one not to be outdone.

I will forever miss my great grandpa I will miss talking to you at the corner store and racetrack then you would tell me how much I look like my grandma Brenda 🕊

This is "Trouble" from West Donovan! Actually, I grow up next door to Mr Leo and his lovely family. Truthfully, I can't explain how deeply saddened I am to find out Mr. Leo passed away. Mr. Leo was an individual I could speak openly to and his advice was well received and appreciated. Whenever I would go different places with him and his sons, he would treat me as one of them. God bless the entire family!

Robert "Trouble" Sampson 

Leo I can't blieve u r gone. I will miss our conversations we would have when we saw each other at the corner store. My cousin rest well in the arms of God. Tell the family hello.
