I am his much younger cousin.  When he was in the army and in Germany he sent me a beautiful doll dressed in a sort of German style costume.  I was thrilled.  The family took a picture of me with the doll and sent it to him.  I must have been around maybe 12 years old.  I was so pleased and felt kind of shy when he wrote back saying that the soldiers he was with saw the picture and said I was pretty.  So nice of him.  I'll always remember his parents.  My Aunt Bertie and Uncle Leo.  

I just sat down to type a note to Mr. and Mrs. Rose and looked up his address on Google and discovered that he passed away. My condolences to Mrs. Rose and their children.  A great loss. I really thought he would live to near 100.  A good friend and a man of his word.  A loss to everyone. 

Cetta, Pat and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. Leo was a blessing to all! He was loved dearly and will be missed by many.

Cindy and Dr. Pat Stumpf

Mrs. Chetta, Alison, Jennifer, Leo and family, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Leo's passing.  He was such a sweet person and always cared for everyone.  My prayers and condolences to the whole family.

Sorry to hear about Leo.  We went to lunch together quite often.  He was a great guy who loved his family, church and farm; perhaps in that order.  My condolences.

Mr. Rose was one of the sweetest boss I ever had. A great personality dealing with the public, very laid back easy going. So sorry but thank you Mr. Rose for your influence in my future. Sympathy for the family
