    My deepest sympathies to you and your son Judy. I just read the paper and could not believe it. Iโ€™m so sorry for your loss

    My memory of Leon always puts a smile on my face. At the end of each school day at GDCI, announcements came over the loud speaker in each room. The announcements ended with the list of names who received detentions that day. And it seemed every day it ended with “and Leon Sprung”. I’m not sure what Leon ever did to deserve the detentions but Leon made his mark at GDCI. :-).
    Hugs to Melanie.

    My sincere condolences to Judy, Jesse, and the Sprung family. I have fond memories of teaching Leon and his younger sister Melanie, in that one room schoolhouse at Westfield. He always kept us entertained with that mischievous twinkle in his eye, and his keen sense of humour. Hopefully your cherished memories of Leon will be a comfort to you at this difficult time.

    Leon, I’m so sorry to hear that you have left us. I shall always remember the good times we had growing up together as neighbors on the farm. As so many people tend to do,we lost touch as we got older.Occasionally we would run into each other at Walmart in Goderich.You always had a smile and a warm greeting.You will be missed..when you see butch tell him I still miss and think of him often….

    Judy and family,
    We are saddened to hear of Leons’ passing. We would have been there if we had known there was going to a celebration of life for him. I knew Leon as a great guy and hard worker. He helped my family build a railing for my father. Thank you, Mary (Burroughs) Bolahood

    Uncle Lee, you were with me from the start and now I know you are looking out for me from above. I will love and honour you always.

    Auntie Judy & Jesse, please accept our heartfelt condolences that we hope will help you through this difficult time. Remembering your family with love, tears, laughter, and fun times. Know we are thinking of you and wishing to be there with you.

    Mom, know that you are in our thoughts and in our prayers. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

    Those we love remain with us
    For love itself lives on,
    And cherished memories never fade
    Because a loved one’s gone.
    Those we love can never be
    More than a thought apart,
    For as long as there is memory,
    They’ll live on in the heart. ~ Author Unknown

    My Dearest Leon. Once again you have left me on my own. Far to soon Bro. You have been in my life for almost 64 years and words can never express how much I loved you. You will always be my brother and for me what an honor. You will be in my heart and thoughts every day until we meet up again side by side as a family at Balls.
