Leon,
I can ‘t remember when you weren’t part of my life: as a substitute teacher for you, working with the unhoused or as just someone to call when the going got rough. Congratulations for your personal and professional friendship and advice- you have made me a better person.
Bishop Leon Frison is my spiritual father and he much deserving of this honor and double honor.
Congratulations Bishop/Dad
