I grew up next door to Sylvia and Leo on Allengrove St. in Philadelphia. They were like adoptive grandparents and I have never forgotten them. Im saddened to hear of Leos passing. He was a wonderful man. I remember many days running through their home. Eating sesame candies and playing with things I probably shouldnt have been touching! Memories that will be with me forever. If anyone sees this, please let Sylvia know that I miss her and think of her often.
