He will be forever missed by his wife, Peggy Mills; daughter, Lynn Evans (Cruz); son, Brody Lawlor (Lauren); and grandchildren, Devenna, Mckenna, and Paisley, who will carry his memory with them always.
Leo will also be deeply missed by his mother-in-law, Deb Mills; siblings Sherry (Eric), Frank, Tammy, and Joe (Michelle); brothers-in-law Tim (Janet) and Jeff (Amy); his many nieces and nephews; extended family and friends; and his beloved dog, Jax.
Leo was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Cathy Lawlor; sister, Lisa; father-in-law, Dan Mills; son-in-law, Chris Merryweather; and nieces, Erica Lawlor and Lillian Hayes.
Rest easy, Leo. You were loved, you were one of a kind, and you will never be forgotten.
