Leo is survived by his daughter Suzanne ”Sue” Casper and grandson Jason Armand.

Leo is preceded in death by his wife Dorothy (Byrne) Casper and his son Glen Casper.

He was the beloved husband of Dorothy Casper, who was blessed to be married to her for 57 years of unconditional love until her passing in 2010; the beloved and devoted father of Suzanne Casper, the late Glen Casper and grandfather to Jason Armand.

Leo was a former merchant marine, served in WWII, was Vice President of Fletcher Equipment and in retirement restored and sold Antiques beside his wife Dorothy.

A native of Wilkes-Barre, PA, and a proud Lithuanian-American, he made his home in Pearl River, LA. He will be remembered for his loving and funny nature, a spirit that shone brightly throughout his journey through life. While we mourn his passing, we find comfort in the enduring words that "Life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returneth, was not spoken of the soul." His family's love for him is eternal.
