It was a wonderful thing. The turnout was indicative of the tremendous love, admiration, and respect that this town has for him. It was a wonderful tribute to Leo.

I want to lay my kill at your feet.

It was a trying time. And Leo stepped up and did very well.

Our kids do very well. The quality of our school is a reflection of Leo.

[Leo] left a wonderful legacy. He was always involved in every aspect of community. He was wonderfully community-oriented and he raised a family that way. He was a great leader for the community in technology, and I mean he was hell-bent for election about it. He was an excellent administrator, very organized. He saw to it that things got done and a lot of the time, he did it himself. He had a wonderful sense of humor and he was wonderful to work with. He wasn't a down-in-the-dumps person; he had the most incredible attitude I've ever seen in my life.

but our respect and admiration does not grant judges the powers many have assumed over the years.
