Leo died peacefully Jan. 27, 2017, on his beloved Cape Cod. He attended Princeton on the New England Regional Scholarship. He was active in Orange Key, Aquinas Secretary, and Campus Fund Drive. He played IAA softball, hockey, bowling, darts, and was on the basketball team. He also played freshman football and joined Tiger Inn, where he dined regularly.

He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1960. Then he moved to Washington, D.C., and served as a government lawyer, working on the federal highway beautification program.

He met Suzanne Halbren, married her, and they had two sons, Gregory and Joshua. He loved coaching his two ball-playing boys.

He moved to Cape Cod in the mid-’80s, where he loved spending these years with longtime companion Muriel Muller. He was an active lawyer with special interest in land and water conservation and a summer baseball league. Fond times were spent by his fire pit with grandchildren and friends.

To his sons Gregory ’89 and Joshua; five grandchildren; and Muriel, the class extends its condolences.
