Uncle Leon was a close friend to my father since their childhood days. Uncle Lee was kind and generous to everyone. The last time I saw him was my kid brother Michael's funeral. He will be missed by his family and all who knew him. May he rest in peace with his loving wife aunt Ann and brother Eddie. My sincere condolences to all who loved him. Franklin Delano

This great man has been in my life since I was in my teens. I'll speak for all of my family in saying that he always made the Banckes and the Jacksons feel like close family. We will cherish so many good days together. Rest in well-earned peace, Leon. Your light and your love have touched so many. Barbara Bancke

"Mr. lee" as we affectionately called him was our neighbor and friend. He was always looking out for us, whether it was to bring up our garbage cans, walk over to check on us or to chat for a bit. He was proud of his family and loved telling me stories. My dad (who lives out of state) would always go over when in town and spend a few hours talking. Mr. lee was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by our family.

Sincere condolences to Cathy, Maryanne, Joann, Tommy, and all Mr. B's grandchildren. Mr. B was a great guy, even when he was telling me to strip those floors faster! RIP Mr. Balacki.
