Dear Phyllis and Family,
We are saddened by the death of Leo, however, we know he is with
his Lord and Savior and Ian. Leo lived a beautiful Christian
life devoting his time to helping others. He was devoted to his
family. I am grateful for the time he shared information about
the Wastler family. May God give you strength and peace as we
await the birth of our Savior.
Love and Peace,
Phyllis, Mel, Douglas and Wendy Gray.
Dear Phyllis,
Our hearts go out to you and your family at the loss of Leo,
however,we are comforted in knowing that Leo is with our Lord
and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
It was always such a joy and pleasure to spend time with Leo,
whether we were enjoying a meal together, sharing an email,
discussing the state of our country and politics, or sharing the
goodness of our Lord and Saviour. He possessed a wealth of
knowledge in so many arenas, and we always counted it a blessing
to hear his thoughts on things. We will miss Leo's warm and
caring spirit, his wonderful sense of humor, the twinkle in his
eyes and that awesome smile. You and your family are in our
thoughts and prayers.
Christ's Peace be with you all.
Love,
Rebecca Lovett and Gene O'Brien
I am very sorry to hear of Leo's passing. I
knew him for many years at Members 1st. I'm glad I had a chance
to say hello to him when he was in with Phyllis a few months
ago. You have my sincere condolences.
Sincerely,
Amy Kramer, Manager
The 1st Brubaker Family Trip has been the Trip
that all other trips have been compared to, and I have traveled
with many other travel groups. None can compare with the
Brubaker trip, with Leo at the helm, and Phyllis bringing up the
rear. Leo was a great manager of details, and he kept us
informed, literally every step of the way. Leo was an excellent
go-between, between us Brubakers and the Swiss Brubakers.
I'm sorry, for Leo's family, to have a funeral during this time
of year, as the Anniversary of a Funeral during the bleak days
of December almost over-takes the Joy of the Season. I have had
similar experiences, with the death of my husband in Dec. 2005,
and my son in Dec. 1981.
I am sure, though, that Leo is enjoying the light of that great
Travel Agency in the Sky!
