Marilyn, I send my condolences & I pray God comfort you & the family always. I tried a couple of times to find Leon, but was unsuccessful. I haven't seen him since a class reunion many years ago, but I am feeling a bit lonely now. He & I went through all 12 grades of primary school together.  In fact he & I were the only boys who were true 5th graders who transferred from Boling Vocational school to Newgulf after integration.

Leon was a wonderful employee in our Engineering department here at Baylor, and someone I considered a friend as well.  Many a time he would sit with me and we would discuss world events, our families, etc.  He is loved by so many and will be missed.  My deepest condolences to all of his family.  

I want the family of Leon to know that you have my sympathy praying for you all doing this difficult time. Leon was such a great person and loving man all the time be blessed always 

Leon grew up in Wharton County & attended 
Mt Scilla BC …, under the leadership of Rev J.A.  Perry.  His Dad “Poogie” was a Deacon in our ⛪️ & had a beautiful voice… part of the Choir for many years.  His mother Inell was my grandma Callie White …best friend.  He always has a smile on his face … but by him being younger than me …. I would just play with him.  His sister Valerie… was also a church member & sang in the choir. Larry was a cowboy & Gene & Andrew were quiet.  Valerie is my aunt Rosabel’s god child,   I just want his family to know we loved him & you have our condolences. We thought the funeral might be down here … but we understand his Family resided in Dallas.  We will miss him dearly.

Dear family of Leon.  I have not seen or heard of Leon since the 5th grade at Newgulf Elementary about 1967-68.  After reading this announcement and seeing Leon’s picture from the Boling High School Class of 1974 FB group page, I send you prayers of comfort and God’s Peace.  I feel certain I would have recognized him on the street after all these years. RIP old friend.

Marilyn,
What a beautiful service for a beautiful spirit and precious man!  I pray for your peace and and know that you find comfort in God. I will love you always. 

To the Callies Family, I have known Leon and his family since the  First grade through the Twelfth grade.  It has been many years since I last  saw him, but he was always the nicest and very kind young man in school.  I heard of his passing several days ago, and wanted to express words of encouragement to each of you, first to his beautiful family, Marilyn and children, and his brothers and sister. I pray that the Lord will strengthen each of you with might by His Spirit in your inner man and bless you with his peace that passeth all understanding.  My family and I will continue to pray and lift you up before the Lord and By His Grace,  the Lord will comfort and keep you each day.  
Much love to each of you,
Dr. Kathy E. Jackson Thompson DNP and Family
