LaVonn Reedy Thomas wrote a sympathy message

“Leo came to mind today, so I searched his name as I've done over the years to see what he was up to. He was my PR supervisor at The DWF. I started as a volunteer, asked him for an internship, and afterwards, he hired me. We had some great times. Lost touch over the years, but I never forgot his support. Blessings to his beloved family and friends.”
