Leo Donald Domingue, 89, of Vinton gained his wings on Thursday, March 6, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on September 29,1935, to Joe and Luda Domingue and was a native of Sulphur.

These included working for Ray Stores, SW Construction and then as a Gauger/Pumper for Amoco Oil Co (Equinox) in Edgerly where he retired in 1989 after 21 years of service.
Leo loved life and everyone he met. He had a huge personality and liked to make people laugh, whether it was telling stories, cracking jokes or playing pranks on people. He enjoyed taking care of his fruit trees, garden and flowers, golfing and his never ending DIY projects around the house.
