Remembrances
Leon was one of the sweetest men I ever met in square dance. I fondly remember member being invited to lunch at the lovely home he shared with Angelo Proserpi in Forestville (Sonoma County). So sorry to hear of his passing. SJB

So sorry to hear of Leon's passing. He and I first met in 1980, dated several times, and remained friends afterwards via our love of opera and having the same SFO subscription night (Fridays). I eventually got him to check out square dancing; he first shows up in the 1984 WSD Directory, and later editions show him as having graduated in July 1984 (same class as James and Tom's, WSD's 5th one). I hadn't been in contact with him since Covid. A real loss to the square dance community.
Oh no. I was in contact with Leon and his partner, Angelo, for many years. This is so sad for me. Angelo, and his sister, and Leon made many trips to Haiti for many years to support the poor and especially after national disasters.
Ernest DeBois was Leon's Brother. Leon, Angelo, and Ernest were all a lovely family. My heart is really sad today to learn all of this.
