Very sorry to hear of Leo's passing ... I was looking forward to another cut once this damned pandemic is over. Leo was my guy since 1967 and we shared many stories over the years ... movies, music, likes and dislikes ... and I shall miss his insights and sense of humor. My deepest sympathy and fondest memories go out to you, Sue, and the children. Stay strong and stay safe!

Hi my dear friend Sue & Family, I only found out about my buddy passing away. Leo and I were very goof friend as he did the best job on my hair for well over 50 years. I will miss his loving kindness and the odd hugs as special friends in life. My relationship with him was like a brother and we spent some time talking abour the wonderful hope prtrayed in the bible for a better future. He had respect for Jehovah and we did speak briefly about the resurrection back to this earth but in a paradise setting meant to be. Jesus said those returning will have excellent heath and no one would ever die, with prospects of living forever with our friends and families. I look forward to reuniting with him and once again enjoy great haircuts READ Rev. 21: 3 - 5 as an encouragement to you. Your friend.... Barry

Sue, Andre, and family. My deepest condolences. I was so sorry to learn of Leo's passing. For over 20 years I always enjoyed our conversation, while getting the best haircut in town. Thank you for posting the photos of Mr. Leo. It was fun, growing along with him. His later years were his strongest. Kudos to a fine man and his accomplishments. His kindness will certainly be missed by all. Bob McKim

My sincerest condolences to Jay and Andre -- and all of Leo's family and friends. I have vivid images of Leo from very early in my life. I couldn't have been older than five or so. This was back in the early 80s. At that time, I wanted to look like the Fonz from the television show Happy Days. I would arrive at his shop excited -- which at that time was on Spring Garden Road. Leo made me feel important and heard. I was animated and told him that I wanted hair like the Fonz. Leo took my requests seriously. And he made a point of talking while he cut my hair, sharing details about what was happening in his life and inquiring about mine. He cared. Not only did this make me feel special and heard but his skills with hair also meant that I looked and felt great! Through all these years those experiences still stand out and I think they speak to the quality of Leo's character, the skill and care he brought to his craft. I'm lucky for that. Thanks Leo! Sincerest regards to his family and friends.

Sue and Family: My sincere condolences on the passing of Leo. For over 40 years we shared our joys and sadness while listening to Cliff and his stories. It was always a pleasure to come for a hair styling. You were certainly the best in Halifax. May God bless you and may god bless your family and his beloved dogs. Now he is resting in his Saviour's arms. May his memories comfort you at this time and though out the rest of your lives. R.I.P.
