Our neighbor, Leo, was always one step ahead of us. He made us look like slackers without even trying. Up first in the morning he’d have our paper at the door and he already be involved in a project before we crawled out of bed. He shared his garden with us, his gardening skills and then the fruit from the garden, potatoes and carrots and raspberries. Leo could fix anything. He was not only a craftsman but and an equally inventive creator, an inspiration. He was non-stop until yesterday when he passed away at 94.
Our neighbors on the other side lost their grandchild yesterday. The sweetest little girl in the world developed a brain tumor that eventually got the best of her just short of her second birthday.

Is this the fellow whose house is to your left, when facing your house from the road?
Sorry to hear about both. Leo seems to have had a long & interesting life. Something the child never had the chance for.
Leo was fortunate to have you guys as friends in this life – you made his life better. So, so sorry about the child.
