I remember Leo from high school days, him, myself and Lupe Dominguez always tried to be on the same basketball team during PE classes. He was a good outside shooter and the three of us clicked pretty good together. I’m sorry that we didn’t stay in touch after high school and my condolences to the family. My name is Juan Antonio Caballero
Our thoughts and prayers for all the family, remember all the time we spend going to show movies, jail ministry and witnessing, gone but not forgotten until we see you again brother. Rey n Maria Escobedo
