Leo was born, June 18, 1930 in Frankfort, Kansas the son of Lafayette Myers and Georgia Mae (Osborne) Myers. Leo always had a talent for building things. He once built a go cart with a washing machine motor and attached an ice cream crank to the pulley on a tractor. He even drafted a nephew to help build a new outhouse one summer. He kept his nieces and nephews entertained around the farm when they were all younger. He was a man of strong faith and enjoyed his Northwood Baptist family. He ministered to & prayed for all of the residents & staff at Parkside Manor and Hospice Compassus. He was employed as teamster contractor.
