On April 30, 1966, he married Kathleen Sue Ulshafer in Clarendon Hills, Illinois. They moved to Boise, Idaho, in 1968 where he worked for United Airlines for 39 years. He and Kathleen celebrated their 50th anniversary last month.
Leon and Kathleen’s three sons, Dave, Steve, and Scott, were born in Boise, and he was always engaged in their activities and proud of their accomplishments.
Leon shared his love for the outdoors with his sons, hunting, fishing, and raising Labrador retrievers. After retiring, he and Kathleen enjoyed traveling.
