We give our deepest sympathy to the Gibbons Family and to Elizabeth Potter and her family. We miss both he and Barbara. Leon was a fine man. We liked his ways.

I am Carolyn Holt Larkins. I have known Leon since early childhood. His father, his aunt, and my mom and dad sang for the Lord over 40 years. We attended the same church. Leon and I sang in 3 gospel groups together (Happy Four singers, Tommy Browder and Higher Power, and Gospel Travellers). He was an amazing friend who I loved like a brother that I never had. My condolences to his brothers and their families. Leon now sings in an heavenly choir. He will never be sick again. Praise God for my memories with my "brother" Leon.
