RIP Leo.  

I got to speak to Leo on the phone once last year.  We chatted about bows and things for a good bit.  Super guy, passionate archer and a patriot.  Leo was old school in the best way.  From what I know he's been a longtime presence on the online trad' scene and I know he will be missed.  He had archer friends across the country.  

Hope you're enjoying wild adventure with a heavy stringfollow ASL on the happy hunting ground buddy!!

Some of the best money i ever spent was on my phone bills for the long distance calls with Leo.

We talked about everything from shooting heavy longbows,to politics to raising teenagers in this crazy time of technology.

The world has lost a lot of wisdom, grit, and a true character.

Sorry to hear of Leo's passing.

I spent an evening at his house shooting bows many years ago.He was an imposing man physically and had a stength and determination about him that was unmistakable.He loved longbows and had quite a few beautiful bows to admire.Most were too heavy for me.He was naturally very strong.Leo looked like the type of guy you would want in a fox hole with you.

I enjoyed my evening and met his wife and daughter.His daughter was bright and intelligent and his wife gracious.

My condolensces to the family.You have lost a beloved father,husband and protector.Keep him close to your heart.

Peace Leo

I didn't know Leo but recall his earlier postings, and that he had a passion for 'old-school' archery ways and gear...something admirable and in short supply these days. Condolences to his family.  If there's a life hereafter I'm sure Leo will still be hauling around a longbow and some arrows there...it's addicting, you know.

Leo and I talked about Harrison bows a lot.  Bought a few and now regret not getting the ballen backed bow last month.   Sad day.

[Terry Green]

God Speed....prayers for the family.

[Steve Jr]

Rest in please Leo      prayers for comfort to the family.

Leo was a man of strength, both in body and character. Even in later years he was shooting bows that I could not pull if I sat down, put my feet on the handle and pulled with both hands.

Prayers for his family!

I remember meeting Leo and going to his home to buy arrows 20+ years ago. He was a fine archer.
