Nan and Family-Don & I were saddened to learn of Leo's passing. He was a wonderful guy and a great neighbor. Don & I took great pride in catching a trout worthy of Leo's great cooking. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Paula Hatcher

Nancy and Family,
Leo was a wonderful husband, father and person. He had a long life, and all of us got to enjoy him for many years. He was a strong Christian, and we are confident he is in Heaven with our Lord. Picture is with Daniel Zoller 1979.

So sorry to hear of your loss! I remember Uncle Leo as a kind, faith-filled and loving Uncle. Although we only saw the Bracciano family once a year and much less frequently through the years, I remember Uncle Leo and Aunt Nan's love for each other, their children and the fact that they led marriage ministries for so many years. He led a full and impactful life, and I'm certain the Saints in Heaven have already welcomed him and worshiping our God. Jill (Adams) Helgerson, daughter of Pat Adams-Nan's sister

Leo and Nan led the marriage prep class my wife and I sat in on in 1990. A young couple could not have had better mentors and role models. The world is a better place for Leo being in it.

My deepest condolences to the Bracciano Family! Especially Leo's beautiful wife Nancy. Leo was a friend and a great mentor to my husband and I through Corpus Christi Church together. Nancy and Leo were in our group where we first met for Marriage Prep classes we taught for many many years together. Leo, we will always have you in our hearts. We will miss you at NHAC as well. Garvin and I will miss your visits to us. You always brought much Joy to us in our office. RIP Leo. Love Scott, Bernadette and Garvin

Heaven gained a saint today. I knew Leo as a man of tremendous faith. Leo always had a good word for me and was one of the finest people I know. He will be missed. God's speed, Leo.
