himself through City College, and went on to get his Master's in Physics at
the University of Missouri and a PhD in Engineering from Cornell University.
Leo worked for many years for G.E. managing the Space Sciences Lab, where he
was instrumental in developing the rocket re-entry program. Leo was named
Engineer of the Year in 1963. As part of his life long support of Israel, he
helped the Israeli government develop fire proof materials. In the 1980s, he
was appointed a Fellow of the Brookings Institute. Leo lived in Philadelphia,
PA, and his beloved home at the beach in Loveladies, NJ. Known for his open
and curious mind, Leo's devotion to his family and great intellect, as well as
his dearly held passion for poetry and chocolate, will be missed by all. Leo
is survived by three daughters, four grandsons, a brother, and numerous nieces
and nephews. All family and friends are invited to join us at a Memorial
