This Memorial Could Not Be Found

I am so sorry to hear about Leo. Mother (Elaine Strawn) will miss him so much. They have been friends for a long time. My prayers are with you. Pat Strawn Stine

Julie Jones wrote me to say Mr. Leo passed on. Kay and I certainly send our condolences. What a wonderful long life he lived but I know you, Frank and Milton, will miss him very much. Best, Lewis Marshall

Milton and Frank - sorry to hear about the passing of your Father. Your Father and Mother both were good friends to our family for many years. Our prayers are with you both at this time.

Milton and Frank, I am sorry to hear Mr. Leo passed away. I have known Mr. Leo most of 50 years. He worked at the Mobil gas station where my parents bought gasoline. I can still hear him say, "Mrs. Rose, what will it be? Fill it up?" He'd wash and wipe the windshield, check the oil, check everything. He was a very special Nashville Hometown Friend !!! He was so kind and friendly, one of those special people you want to live forever. I know Nashville has lost one of its finest. My thoughts and prayers will be with you both. There is no place like Nashville ! Sincerely, Pam Bissell Marlar

Milton and Frank, so sorry for your loss. Wow...97?! That's pretty amazing! Your dad had a gift for story-telling. I enjoyed hearing him talk about "remember when", and he never met a stranger. You'd think that half the world passed through Bingen at one time or another. I think he passed these gifts on to his sons. One who loves telling the stories of history, and one who just simply loves relating to the people he comes in contact with throughout his day. Cherish this heritage.

Milton and Frank, I just happened upon the news of your dad's passing and am sorry for your loss. I was still living in Plano, TX but now live in Saratoga. My Aunt Wilma Chesshir had passed in Dec. 2009, so I have no one in Nashville to update me on news of relatives and friends who knew my Dad, Wm.(Bill) Durward Chesshir. Your mom and my dad were related as I remembered seeing her maiden name was Chesshir. My Dad thought highly of your dad, Leo. They were both mechanics and if my memory is correct, your dad hired my dad as a mechanic helper or "grease monkey", as my dad used to call it, at an auto shop, I believe, in Nashville, many years ago. Again, sorry for your loss.
