"Mr. Leon Brazil was my High School Ag teacher in Valley View through 1953. He was a man that I truly respected and also a great teacher. The things I learned in his classes has provided me job opportunities throughout my lifetime. We also shared many thing of interest, he was a pilot and I became a pilot. He was a Mason and I became a Mason plus many other common interests. He was a man that truly made the world a better place and left his great legacy to all that knew him. Yes, he will be missed by all, but be assured that he will not be forgotten. I consider myself very privilaged to have known Mr. Brazil, both as a teacher and a friend. My deepest sympathy goes to all his family. I pray that God will grant you all his devine comfort for your loss.

"He was without a doubt the best Ag teacher I ever had. He put little ole Tioga on the map as we won several State champonship in Grass Judging. I will always remember the trips he took us on to Houston, San Antonio, Austin and others. His leadership help make me a better man. Benny Reynolds"

"I am very appreciative that the lord allowed me the opportunity to not only know but conduct business with Mr. Leon. He was one of the true nice guys. We have had some great laughs at the stories he has been able to tell. I will always remember Leon wearing his overalls with the spoon in the front pocket and the story that he had to have the spoon ready for his ice cream fix at the Quick Check. I will always be thankful for the opportunity to know Leon."

"He was a great man. Your family is in our thougths and prayers."

"I'm so sorry to learn of your loss. Leon was such a sweet guy. He was so helpful with my genealogy search for the Glasscocks, showing me all the places around Celeste. I pray that Jesus will comfort all of you. Sandra"

"Dwayne, Gary and the family,

I was saddened to hear of your father's passing. I know it has been a long and difficult journey for the past couple years. My fondest memories of Leon was when I would make the occassional visit to the farm with Dwayne and set under the shade tree with your dad. He would tell some interesting and funny stories about you boys growing up. He was a good man, and will be missed by many.

May he rest in peaace and may God be with you and your families during this difficult time. You are all in our prayers.

We love you guys, ROGER and CHRISTAN"

"Leon was so sweet to me, and I'll miss the lunches that he and Dad and I shared. I enjoyed talking to him, and will miss him.

My heartfelt condolences to his family."

"It was a pleasure getting to know Leon in our Celeste Lion's Club he was a good man and friend."
