Dear Pauline and family. I was sorry to hear of Leo’s passing. I have fond memories of getting to know Leo when his mom became the beloved Oma of the Fransen clan a life-time ago. Leo was a kind and gentle person who would give you the shirt off his back. I will be thinking of you as you gather as a family to mourn your loss and celebrate Leo’s life.
