Condolences
I still remember when you and Aunt Rosie first moved to Florida. We used to do everything together, shoot pool, fish, you name it we always had a blast. When we needed help, you was the one that always showed up. from moving off Grant street to just giving us rides when our car was broke down in Barrackville. People can say what they want(they always do anyways) but I knew the real Leon Rogers a person that would give the shirt off his back to help you if that's all he had to give. Our family has lost a dear and great man, RIP Uncle Leon. We will always remember you in our hearts and our minds. Love and miss you!!!
RIP Uncle Leon. I'm sorry we weren't there yesturday. Wasn't told when the funeral was until this morning. He was a great guy. Loved to joke around when I helped him with his apartment in Fairmont. Casey and I will miss him dearly.
