Leo might have been my greatest Mentor. It was hard to tell at the time but he rode me hard and expected much out of me. He helped me define myself as an electrician and leader and I will be forever grateful. There isn’t a day that doesn’t go by when I don’t pattern something I’m doing after his manner and I am sad to hear of his passing today and blessed to have known him. Leo will always be alive because of the impact he made in my life.

Leo, with his tough love attitude, made me want to be a better electrician. I am one of his many students the the ABC apprenticeship program, and his knowledge has advanced me to where I am now, and where I hope to be. Thank you Leo for your lessons, you will be missed at ABC!
