Sincere condolences to Leo's family. I didn't know him well but I do have favorite memory to share that I believe involves the '33 Plymouth. In the early 60's Leo lived on Armstrong street. He was friends with a good friend of mine over on Benton St. We occasionally would visit while Leo worked on the car. I seem to recall that, at the time, it had a flat head engine and was blue "accented" with rust--looked very similar to the "deuce coupes" popular at the time. One day when we were visiting he had got just the car running. He took my friend Bill and I out for ride. I sat in the middle. I don't think it even had a windshield because the radiator leaked and I got a face full of water. Leo's response, "it looks like I got more work to do." We all laughed. Great memory. Rest in peace, Leo.
