RIP forum member "357 Magnum" Leo

[S&W357]

I've not confirmed this but it looks as if Leo in Coventry RI has died.

Leo was a member of Facebook's CB radio group Big Radio Boulevard Channel 21. Having not heard from Leo in almost a week I went to that FB radio group. The info below is a cut & paste from that group's FB page.

Ralph,
Very sorry to hear of Leo's passing. I know the two of you had become close friends on the airwaves. I was hoping to talk with him myself one day when conditions were right. God rest his soul.

73 sir

Sad news. Prayers for the family/friends.

I've not confirmed this by finding an obituary for Leo. I've also not called his wife to confirm, I don't feel I should do that. Also there is nothing on Leo's FB that confirms that. His wife also uses his FB.

Roy, Leo (Denise) Coventry, RI

“On the whole, I’d have rather have been in Philadelphia” (WC Fields epitaph).

Now, unless he’s also known as Grumpy there are others by this name.

All at their convention in Philly

“Grumpy” is Leo’s handle on CB AM radio.

Hasn't been a last name Roy pass in RI since 2019?

I looked for an obituary before I made the original post in this thread. Couldn’t find a thing…still can’t.

The two post on Big Radio Boulevard Facebook mention things that make me think his passing away happened.

#1…His AM handle in RI is “Grumpy”

#2…Cobra 2000 is his favorite radio. He smoked that Cobra a week or so ago…poof.

Leo had recently bought a Ford 3500 Tractor with enclosed cab, front end loader, and back hoe. He had several photos of that on his Face Book. Those pictures are now gone. His wife “Dee” was active on FB using only Leo’s FB. She has not made any new posts in a few days.

For the record: I don’t do FaceBook. I just get cruise my wife’s FB and stalk people we know.
