Leon sly passed away?

[KenneyTran]

I saw a post from crossroads cue saying Leon sly passed away. Can some one confirm this???

So sad. He was making two cues for me and we chatted frequently in the past month. My messages today were not responded to

A great one gone, the community is poorer for it.

R.I.P.

Leon was a good friend to me. He was always sharing advise with me to guide my cue making. Did it for 10 - 11 years. He was very direct. You never had to question what he was thinking - because he was gonna tell you! He would explain different build techniques very concisely, and seriously. He was a pretty good teacher. He had a funny side that most people didn't get exposed to. Had me in tears, laughing - a few times. Im going to miss him.
We spoke weekly, usually around 1 - 2 am. Sure will hit me around that time. Im glad to have known him. Fly high, my friend!

RIP to Leon. Never knew him, but enjoyed seeing the work he did.
Always sad to hear one of our community gone.

Very sad to hear this, I have and still use to this day one of his cues. Total accident how it came to me, but, ever since the very first hit, I knew I'm not letting this one go.... RIP.

I too had talked to Leon on the phone a few times and still play with a sneaky he built.

Condolences to his Family and friends.
RIP Leon.

Leo made a great Cue, honestly I had one of his 4 Point Peacock Inlay Cue, Ebony & Highly Figured Birdseye.

It was drop dead georgious, some AZBer bought it.

Sad to hear about Leon.
