See Condolences

My heart goes out to your family, May the lessons Leo gave you last a lifetime.

I knew Leo from Hampton, we worked together, visited the family he took my son and l out fishing, got him and Bob Steele invited them to Va. at popular camp at the Woods hunting camp. They were both super good friends and remember Leo especially for his good humor and his great character, so sorry for your loss.

My condolences to your entire family. Such good memories of my oldest cousin. He had more influence over his younger cousins than he probably realized. May your memories of Leo bring you some comfort.

Our deepest sympathy to the whole family. Leo junior was such a kind person and . we enjoyed his visits to Michigan at our Tutak gatherings. May you all be blessed with memories of Leo that warms your heart and gives you peace. Love to all, Bob and Debbie Skiba and family

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. I had the privilege to work with Leo at Hampton Industries and the honor to be his hunting companion for years to the annual trip to Poplar Camp. The experiences shared there are ones I will always cherish. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My sincere and deepest condolences to the Tutak family. May God bless and comfort you during your time of bereavement. My prayers are with you 🙏

Although he was the rock that held Hampco Apparel thriving in profits for years, his managerial style was filled with no-nonsense, yet compassion ,with everyone he came in contact with. I’ll always remember his trips to see us in the NY office with Lil Christopher looking for the next train set! Hope u still have them Chris! He was a great man, so sorry for your loss. Alice Keelan

Compassionate and loving man. Enjoyed many fun times with he and family. Great man!

I went to St. Stanislaus with Leo, although he was a grade behind me. We also took accordion lessons together at Oleski Music Mart in Racine. I remember Leo well. His picture still looks just like him! I'm sorry for your loss.
