Our dad, Leo J. Zymroz, 96 years old, passed away peacefully on February 28, 2023. He was born in Niagara Falls on March 29, 1926 to the late Joseph and Julianna (Kaleta) Zymroz.

Leo was a veteran of the Army Air Force serving from 1944 until 1946. On June 28, 1952, he married his love, the former Helen Palka.
