Leon & Rita and Families,
So sad to read this. Jeany just sent me a text as she just found out when she tried to send him a Christmas card. He was the nicest man and my Mom’s favorite cousin for 90 years through growing up and attending high school together! Now he can join her & my Dad as well as Irene up in Heaven! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Micky & Donna Johnson (son of Marie Ammann Johnson Wagner)

I had the pleasure of meeting Leon over at St. Anne’s Retirement Community where both my parents resided until their passing. He was always so pleasant and I will always remember his smile and kind words. My deepest sympathy. God Bless his soul.

Leon was a true Gentleman. He was always so pleasant and kind. He was a member of Chester County Men of Malvern. I always looked forward to Our August Retreat. When We met at Malvern each year, He would always ask about My Wife Rose Ann and Our Children. He was Our insurance Man for a long time. Just last week Rose Ann asked I wonder How Leon Hutton is doing? Now I can say He is doing very well because He is with the LORD. As we say at Malvern PROSIT. “May it be for Your benefit”

We are so sadden by the passing of your Dad. Your Dad was our Insurance Man back in the 70’s,
nd he was a great and funny guy. We just spoke of him a few days ago. When your Dad would come over to see us, we had a black doberman, Tara, and she was very protective of us when people would come over. She would always sit right by your father, when he was visiting us. She didn’t growl but she had the look. Your Dad had that funny laugh, and went about his visit with us,even though she was right there. Anyway, we were talking about our dogs we had lost and that’s how your Dad’s name came up. Wishing you all plenty of hugs and love. The Marrons

Your parents and holding hands in heaven and smiling down on you both and your wonderful families…..sending my love and sympathy from Vermont.
