Leon was a real people-person who loved life and spending time with his family and friends. He was a hard-working man who always took care of his family. As a child, Leon was educated in the Columbus County School System. After working on the farm for numerous years he started working at Georgia Pacific in Whiteville, NC and then worked for Cone Mills in Greensboro for many years. He loved being outside, was an avid sports fan, and was the best cook in the family. Leon loved the Redskins and was probably one of their biggest fans.
