Like my cousins Scott and Kelly, I, too, have memories of Uncle Leo and Aunt Tomme. The first wedding I ever attended was theirs when I was maybe 5 years old. I had stars in my eyes from Aunt Tomme, so beautiful in her wedding dress and for Uncle Leo, with his then very dark hair, waiting for her at the alter. I also remember being at their house, especially playing with Bart and Don on their fabulous and huge train set in the basement, a tribute I'm sure to Uncle Leo's engineering expertise. So many are gone now...Aunt Gladys, Uncle Barton, Aunt Johny, Aunt Toots, my grandfather known to others as Uncle Buddy and my grandmother (Aunt BB), Cousin Wally and beautiful Kathleen, Cousin Shannon, Aunt Billie and Uncle Rod, many others, and now Uncle Leo. They may be gone, but they are not forgotten, and we owe them so much for making us the people we are today. Our deepest sympathy to Aunt Tomme, Bart, Don, wives, and grandchildren for the loss of Uncle Leo. Please know he was a very significant link in a stable and loving family chain that gave and gives all of us so much, and we are grateful for him. Jan Rider and my mother, Jerry Rider
