    Uncle Leo was a giving man who with the help of his brother Gerard made sure Paul's children were provided for and loved. The selfless acts of these two men and their dedication to decency for their nieces and nephew will surely be rewarded for eternity. Rest in peace with your just reward Uncle Leo.
