Book of Memories for Leo Egbert

As most of you know, my "little" brother Leo was very smart. When we were younger, we would often sit around the kitchen table doing our homework, mom or dad, nearby to assist. My sister Veronica and I always struggled with math. Leo LOVED and excelled at math. This one particular evening, when Leo would have been about 5 or 6, Mom was helping Veronica (who is only two years older than him) with her math homework. Mom was trying to explain 2 x 2 (or something like that). Veronica was struggling. Finally, the bathroom door opened up and Leo stuck his cute little head out and said, "it's 4! 2 x2 is 4!"

Veronica looked up from her homework and bursted into tears, saying, "How does he know? He's YOUNGER than me!"

Dear Nancy and the family Egbert- Charlie and I were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Leo. Please accept our deepest condolences. As I said to Diahn when I first heard the tragic news...Leo was such an amazing person-truly one of a kind and unforgettable. It's hard to believe he is gone. What a wonderful man he was. He always greeted me with a big smile and an even bigger hug! Really-Leo was a world class hugger in my opinion. And I don't know if he just seemed to know I needed a hug, but it was always the highlight of my day. He was one of those rare individuals who made you feel special. I had hoped to see him again this fall, but my last memories of him are wonderful- he was happy, hopeful. Just being his gregarious, generous self. Please know he was respected and loved by my husband and me. I wish at this time to offer my support in any way you need it. Please call me anytime. I would just like to get together and give you a hug and let you and your family know that Charlie and I cared about Leo and you- a lovely couple that we always wanted to get to know better. I don't want to intrude on you during this difficult time of transition, but I want to let you know I'm/we're here for you. With all our love and support to you Nancy- Krissi and Charlie Stenborg

Love the array of photo's of Leo and his family, the one that stands out is the one with him packing a snow ball, that one really stands out, as the Leo I remember from grade school days.

To the Egbert Family, Lisa and I are so very saddened to learn of Leo's passing. Leo and I renewed our prior friendship from his Army days and my civilian service to the Army with the Huntsville Center US Army Corps of Engineers where I provided technical engineering planning and design support to Army Training Range Program - where I first met Leo. Last year we began working together as contractors on a training range project in Poland and my firm HDR subcontracted with Leo for this project. I will miss his smiling and positive attitude - a truly Great American! RIP my Scottish Brother! God Bless your family! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
