Frank, Sharlene and families, my heart broke when I read that your dad, my favorite Uncle Leo passed away. I offer my condolences to all of you.
I always told people that Uncle Leo looked like a younger version of my dad, Andy and that they were the two most handsome men in my world. Uncle Leo was an amazing man who radiated that very special "Ortman charisma".
My entire life he always greeted me with a warm, loving hug and words of wisdom or encouragement that meant the world to me. The image of Uncle Leo that I will forever carry in my heart is his warm smile and that mischievous twinkle in his eyes that made him look as though he was only a moment away from a witty comment.
I find solace in the knowledge that Uncle Leo is once again in the arms of Auntie Carol.
Love to you all,
Maureen Ortman King
