Leo Kasun
(March 9, 1931 – December 18, 2011)

It is with profound sadness that the Kasun family announce the sudden passing of Leo in his home on December 18, 2011 at the age of 80 years.

Leo was born on March 9, 1931 in the Leask District. Leo grew up on the farm and took his schooling in Leask. After his father's death in 1950, Leo took up farming at a young age and stayed on the farm until his retirement. Being active in his church, over the years he was altar boy, usher and ran the bell on Sundays and special occasions.

He enjoyed being goal judge in the Old Rink for the Leask Flyers especially for their playoff games. In later years Leo enjoyed trimming trees and cutting firewood. He kept busy sharpening chainsaws and drill bits. Then in his spare time he did wood working and reconditioning hand tools in his garage. On coffee row “Smokey” enjoyed every opportunity to share his stories and jokes.

He is survived by his sister, Sylvia Godbout (Vic); brother Maurice (Angie), brother-in-law Fern Marion. He was predeceased by his parents Mike and Barbara Kasun (nee: Stiglich) and sister Jeanne Marion.

The Funeral Service will be held on Friday, December 23, 2011 at 11:00 AM at St. Henry's Roman Catholic Church in Leask. Interment to follow in Leask Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
