Leo Husman, 82, has gone home, leaving behind a circle of those who loved him.
These few paragraphs cannot hold a life, but they may carry a memory.
Born in 1933, Leo began a life that would touch many along the way.
Leo held deeply to the Catholic faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Service is its own kind of love — quiet, steady, often unseen.
