He spent many hours on the golf course and loved watching baseball, his favorite team was the Washington Nationals. He was always looking forward to the next family vacation at Walt Disney World. There were few things that could make Leon smile more than a trip around the world’s most exotic rivers on the world famous Jungle Cruise.
