He married Irma Jean Schindele in 1942 and was drafted into the Army on October 12, 1942. Leo served with the 41 Division during the invasion at Normandy and was on the front line in many major battles.

He was very active with the Swatara baseball team during this time. They captured the championship in 1948. Leo remained active in community baseball for the next 20 years.

Leo worked at the Trout Lake mine and was a burner in the mould yard at the Duluth Steel Plant until 1972 and then returned to the mines, including Richileau, Sherman, Arcturas and spent one year at the Research Plant in Coleraine. LeoŐs favorite activity was deer hunting. He never really cared if he got a deer, just the idea of being out in the woods every day of every season had special meaning to him. He passed this love of the outdoors on to all of his children. Leo was a charter member of Midwest Riders Saddle Club in the early 70Ős as well as a current member of Evergreen PAC ATV Club.
