On the day Uncle Leon died, my niece Gabby gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named, David Leon after my dad, Larry Leon, who was named after Uncle Leon. His name had been chosen by Gabby & Josh months ago. I find some peace in that & I hope the rest of the family does too. I have such great memories at the lake, their  houseboat, & Uncle Leon taking us kids for ice cream. He was the cool, fun uncle. I agree Cath, there's a card table in Heaven, probably on the edge of a lake, with Uncle Leon, Uncle Ted, my dad, Uncle Marvin, & Grandpa playing cards

I have a lifetime of wonderful memories of Uncle Leon as do my children. They begin at my grandmothers house when I was just a toddler, continue to the lake, I remember eating at his house in Ky. and the total amusement he got telling me I just ate frogs legs. I see him in my mind at the card table with Marvin, Ted and Grampa in heaven together again.
I remeber showing up at their house when I was passing through in my twenties and the joy I was welcomed with and they dropped everything took me to the rotating resturant to see three states. I remember the artwork that hung in the house that has inspired my own.
I remember every story he told about my gramma, his Anna, and I knew he missed her as much as I still do.
I remember our last visit, I brought my grandson to their place in leesburg I remember a lot of laughter and joy everywhere they went.

They both loved deeply even after tragic losses, their hearts stayed open.
Peggy, Janet and the rest of the family you are in our prayers may you find comfort in eachother, the Hollenbeck family sends all of our love.
