I dreamt about you last night, and I hadn't even thought about it being Mar 24th - must have been a message from you. We go on without you but it's not the same. Seeing Paris and Henry next week - wish you were there too. Love you Leo

Miss you lots today on the worst day of the year :( Having a great time in college, wish you could see Fordham! I think you'd love it. I'm seeing Grandma Mary and Poppy and Greg next weekend and I can't wait to show them the campus. Love you

Leo, you'd be 50 today. We'd both be in our 50's together. Hard to believe you'd be twice the age you were in 1991 when Nick, Leslie and I paid you a surprise visit in Connecticut and Sue threw you a party. That was such a happy day - you were telling jokes, we were playing games, singing and listening to tunes. Happy happy memories. Happy birthday - love you always Leo

I remember driving to see fireworks on fourth of July at West point. Henry was in a car seat singing All-star by smash mouth. Pretty sure he was singing to you. Miss you, old friend.

I saw Leo one week before he died. We were in Chicago, celebrating St Paddy's Day together with our friends. Fantastic craic, as always. We were giving Leo lots of 'stick' for constantly calling his kids to check in and say 'hello.' He deflected our jibes by being self-deprecating and hysterically funny.

Days later, he was gone.

As I said at his funeral, I felt sorry for all of us: the shocked and grieving family, friends and co-workers in the church that day. But I said I felt even more sorrow for the people who'd never get the chance to meet him. And I still believe that. Some people simply enrich others, and no one did this, in my experience, better than Leo.

I think of him today and every day. A brilliant life cut short, it's still a shock that he's not here, gushing with life - whether being an arse or a genius and, effortlessly, making everyone, well, better.

Love u Leo,
-Sean

Leo you left us 12 years ago today. I wanted to share a memory which I wrote in a notebook 3 months after your death about the last time I saw you.

24 June '04
Another magic moment from that trip in October 2003 - never realised how precious those 2 or 3 days would be for the rest of my life - after watching you coach Henry's soccer team, I drove home with you and Henry in the car - you were bubbling over with pride and praise for Henry's performance. You were telling him how well he played and he was so happy - it was such a magic father-son moment and I got to witness it - I can't imagine how he misses you

I love you Leo

Greg
