Anne so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I had the pleasure of working with Leon at Syracuse China and I truly admired him for his work ethics.. I also had the pleasure of receiving a hug from him as I treated him like a KING at Francis house. My condolences to the family He will be greatly missed..
Cheryl & family of Leon,
I didn't know your dad, grandpa, great grandpa, brother, uncle and friend, but from what l read and what l know of a very longtime friendship with Cheryl, he just had to be a man of great character.
Sending each & every one of you love, support, peace, prayers, hugs & healing energies as you each continue on your grief journey 's. "A life well lived, is a life well worth remembered". Blessings to all & may he now rest peacefully.
Respectfully,
Donna 'Byrd' Setrella
What a wonderful man. I remember one time my father told me that he had never met anyone who had a bad thing to say about him.....never. My Dad knew many people ..esp every Italian in Syracuse, so that's saying a lot! I hope they get to spend some time together and maybe play a game of cards.
Cheryl ,I was so sadden to hear of your father's passing. I will always cherish the memories of working around the house with him,as the smell of your mothers cooking was always present. He was such a wonderful man to be around . I remember whenever I got a call from him I would just drop anything I was doing to go see him.I always felt to peaceful and happy around him,oh and of course him always giving me fresh vegetables from his garden was a plus..;-) i will always remember his soft laugh as we would be working in the cellar together joking around. Even though it's hard to say good-bye to such a sweet gentle man,that gave me strength at times, from what I have seen,he has had a wonderful long life with your mother that you and I can envy! I will miss him greatly. Michael Passarelli.
Cheryl, Ron and families,
So sorry to hear of Uncle Lee’s passing. He was such a sweet man. Please take comfort in knowing that he and Aunt Nina are together in heaven-
Love,

There will never be another like you,Dad ( Papa ). No amount of words can express how much I will miss you. Thank you, God, for placing him in my life as my father. It's a blessing I will always treasure. Ci vediamo, Dad. XO
