Family, Friends, and those who know me!
I'm Okay! My time on this earth has taught me well and I look forward to seeing you all again.
Emmitt to the Limit (no boundaries) was the way our friend is and the only way he served God! Of us who keep his memory alive, we Know the Leon will always be a gift in our lives. He would joke with us that his name backwards was Noel meaning to be born and a reference to The Nativity. Our friend was born in Condon Oregon on a Cold February day and I'm sure that on many occasions that’s how he kept his heart humble and loving towards us when disappointment came his way and we would never recognize he was hurt. Leon came to the Lord in his military days thanks to two young ladies early in his career. Our friend is always a greeter and I'm sure many were attracted to his friendly smile and willingness to help. Our friend was a giver to the end of his days and when he grew upset it was likely due to someone not letting him be helpful. On one simple occasion Leon wanted to get his dentures fixed so I asked him to save some money. His response was yes but a few moments later he would tell me to get his Money Order and send it to Christian Fellowship for Jews and make life better for those he never knew. So, let us keep our hearts open and the tears few. We were privileged to know you, Leon!
