Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

WELL DON'T KNOW WERE TO START A TRIBUTE TO LEO , and his family , for his efforts on here but I'll try in my own fashion:

   When I first came to this site it was my pleasure to become friends with Dick Tabbert , Leo , and so many others on here just too numerous to mention.
    BUT LETS' PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE : WHO IS LEO ? VERY COMPLEX QUESTION with a short and simple answer. He's one of the most giving of time, knowledge , and expert advise , on the site period. If I am wrong please forgive me because I like to assign CONGRATS , AND THANKS , to all who make it possible for me to be on here ......
    Leo came from south east asia , and we are all the better for knowing him and his lovely wife and kids...... Ya know he has helped me in so many ways I can't list em all but will attempt. First off his knowledge of computers is astounding and seemingly can fix any problem I have encountered over the phone. Some won't think this wise , but have given him complete access to my home system to fix it and adjust things from Southern California , THAT'S HOW MUCH I TRUST THE MAN .......

   OFFERED HIS OWN PERSONAL stories on " THE GOOD OLE DAYS GROUP" and they are timeless to me and appeal to anyone with any memories of ones own childhood...
    In the truest sense of the word he is a very humble man and unassuming to be sure. I LOVE TEASING HIM ABOUT HIS BOAT ADVENTURES , they seem endless and tinkering with em is the rule of the day.....

   I don't know when he sleeps cause everytime I call him hes says HEY WHAT'S UP TOOTY , and always has a smile you can see through the phone . He is a very busy guy but always has time to help in what ever capacity he can and he is to be revered and applauded for his seemingly TIRELESS DEDICATION TO THIS SITE.
   I CAN ONLY SAY THIS IN CLOSING , THANKS LEO YOU ARE THE MAN ...........
   "WHAT A GEM WE HAVE HERE FOLKS"..........

HEY LEO GLAD YA LIKE THE TRIBUTE BUDDY , YOU DESERVED IT FOR A LONG TIME .......

Thanks so much Tooty, and everyone. I can't believe I missed this posting. I'm more indebted to the site and its glorious shared wisdom and knowledge among the family members. I'm merely a cog in a larger well oiled machine here. What I can offer is a small little blurb, compared to the contribution that everyone placed forth. Quite humbling to see that my contribution be of help, and of course, a big smile on my face to see the results of my efforts. That's more than rewarding enough.

Very nice, Bruce and Dick. Hooray for Leo!

You know I was thinking that Leo has helped me so much he didn't have time to help anybody else wow was I wrong. Makes me wonder does he ever sleep. He's always there and willing and wanting to help out in any way he possibly can I personally can't praise him enough. He's always got a helping hand extended always making time for you and your problems never puts you on hold. I've never met the man other than by phone but I feel as if I know him personally, he is a great person and terrific individual and always a friend of mine you can't help but love the man all he want to do is please. I'm hoping one day I can really meet the man and shake his hand personally. Lot of love to you Master Leo and bless you and your family.

Leo has my complete and permanent respect and friendship.  He generously shares his knowledge with others, and is also a wonderful example of a true family man.  We are all better because he frequents this site.  His integrity is unquestioned, and I would trust him with any matter of importance in my life.  THANK YOU, Leo for all you've done for www.bigbluegill.com, and for me personally!

"Always has a smile you can see through the phone..." That says it all.
You nailed it, Tooty.
I wish I was half as smart as Leo, most days.
But mostly, I thank him fur sharing the adventures of his family. He I'd building cherished memories, and we are welcomed to be a part.
Thank you, brother Leo.
