It has been a pleasure and an honor to know Mr Ed. He had a way to make you laugh even when the weight of the world was on your shoulders. He always played with the girls when they were young and would talk to them in French He was always smiling know matter what was going on around him. We will miss you.

To the LeLeu Family, my condolences to each of you. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. LeLeu on a Cub Scout camping trip with Pack 72 at Camp Magee at Avondale. We sat around the camp fire enjoying a fall weekend with my son and his grandsons. His presence made for a great time. The Istrouma Area Council has lost a great leader. To Cheryl and Steve, may the moments you shared give you comfort and peace. Thanks also for his service in defense of our Nation. May he rest in peace.
God Bless, Vince Giaccone
