I am so sorry to hear of leo’s death. I have known of leo for a few years now. I have been doing some research. My grandfather was Bernard T Skeens. My Father is Bernard T Skeens Jr. Leo and him would have been half brothers, it is a shame they never got a chance to meet. My thoughts are with you. I lost my mother a year and a half ago and I know it is still tough. So any thing you need I am here.
