Oh my gosh! I was gone all week-end and came home this afternoon to read this sad news! What a shock! The last I heard from Leo he was doing well and hoped to be playing again soon.
It was more devastating to read the article in the newspaper. It surely was the medication, he had too much to live for.
My sincere sympathies go to Leo's family and fans everywhere who are suffering the loss also. One happy person is Jim to have his guitar player again!
Always for Jim and Leo, Doris
