Laughter…...
“Are You The Father?”
The funniest story in my family about Fr. Leo is when I lived in Chicopee & went into labor for my son, Scott. My husband had left
for CT so I called Aunt Alvine. She came right over to keep my daughter, Tammy. She called Fr. Leo who was saying 7 am Mass. He
comes right over & speeds (sorry Fr. but you never did go slow!...) to Providence Hospital. "runs" 2 red lights, gets me there, the
Nun comes out with the wheel chair, he is getting something out of the car and she hollers "Are you the Father?" " Yes", he answers
(he was really nervous at the time!) and he turns around, he has his "collar" on and that poor Nun almost faints!! ~ Cousin Sue
“That Guy….”
Dear Fr. Leo: Cheryl and I are praying for. You have made such a difference in our lives and have been a large part our development
as a Catholic married couple. All of our children are praying for you as well. I know how much you enjoyed speaking during
your homilies about the cute things children say so I thought ...I would share one with you. Last night our 4 year old daughter
Rachel was saying her prayers before she went to bed and said "God please help that guy at church". That guy is you so I hope you
felt a moment of peace when she whispered those words. We all love you very much. ~ Bob & Cheryl W.
