My Dad

My dad, Louis T. Leonsis, passed away last night. He was almost 94 years old. I was with him and held his hand and told him how much he meant to me. He was a great father. I will miss him more than words can describe.

 He was a sweet man and a very kind soul. As an only child, I have lost my mom (19 years ago) and now my dad and move forward in life as father and husband now to my family. The circle of life continues. I hope you will keep him in your thoughts and prayers and respect our family’s privacy on this matter.
