Many friends and fellow colleagues who knew Leo said a final farewell. They expressed condolences to his family, saying that he was one of the kindest friendly people they ever met.
“I am struck by lightning hearing the news that you have passed away to the house of God. My heart is broken and wants to blame the creator, while whispering God... Is this fair? After I reflect on this all is God's plan. Your good deeds are provisions to make you easy to enter the kingdom of heaven.”
"There are many who do not believe that you are gone and can't let you go. And to this day they are the ones who send condolences and pray saying you are a good person. By now, you must be with the angels in Heaven, you must be an "angel" just like the time of your life in this world. A person who always motivates, always think positively, you are not ashamed and does not give up with the condition."
