  • Notes 
    • “[Leon] graduated from Columbia High School in West Columbia and then graduated from Texas A&M University, class of 1968. He was ever faithful to all Aggie sports teams, unless the season got too painful. Completely dedicated to his family and was the best Opa any kid could ever have. He was always good for a lift to the airport. His heart and his pockets were always open; he would give you his last dollar. Leon lived out his faith in Christ by being a humble servant here on earth. He loved his Sunday School class and singing in the choir. Listening to music was a favorite pastime.” [2]
