I have had the pleasure of announcing several NHRA National Events with Leo; He will truly be missed by ALL in the Sport of Drag Racing.

I first started going to the US Nationals as a kid in the late 1980s. I remember his voice well and always enjoyed listening to him announce. May he rest peacefully.

Man, we've lose a great, great person. I'm going to miss seeing him at the races so much. He was the best announcer I've ever heard for our sport, and he was the nicest guy in the world. Rest in peace Leo.
