Cherished by his sister Carol VanMiddelkoop, brother-in-law and sister-in-law John & Lynne Compton, and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Alice and Gilbert Kelly, brother Bob, and sister and husband Betty and Ken Clark. Special thanks to all EMT’s who responded and tried to save Leo for us.
