Leo Graduated with honors from Western HS in Detroit MI in 1946.

After Graduating with a degree in Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1950 Leo began a successful career in the automotive industry. He traveled around the World in his 33-year career as a Sales and Business Executive for The Chrysler Corporation. He also cherished meeting many of his lifelong and closest friends throughout his career.

Known as a "kind soul" and a "true gentleman", Leo also cherished so many of his dear friends that began from childhood, college and through the Armenian Church. He loved golf, all sports and of course Saturday Michigan Football.

But, most of all he chose to give his time to his family and was a devoted Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. He cherished the time he got to spend with his entire family and extended family, and he was loved by all.

Rest in Peace Leo.
