Leo Perino, age 79, passed away late last week, leaving behind a legacy defined by dedication, warmth, and unwavering love for his family. A proud “girl dad,” Leo ensured his daughters, Angie and his other beloved child, grew up believing they could achieve anything—and they did.
Leo lived a life marked by purpose and passion. At the time of his passing, he was reading Purple State, paused on page 289—a quiet reflection of a man who remained curious and engaged until his final days. Known affectionately by colleagues as “The Legend,” Leo was deeply respected in his professional life, where he consistently went above and beyond expectations.
Leo was joyous, generous, and deeply reflective. His bedside table told his story: a treasured book, laminated reflections from colleagues honoring his career, and a life filled with meaning. He was reluctant to retire, yet when he finally did, he embraced it with dignity—passing away just 29 days later, a poignant reminder of his lifelong commitment to work and purpose.
Leo’s greatest achievement was his family. His daughters were his pride and greatest joy. His legacy is one of encouragement, resilience, and love—showing others how to live fully and work with heart. His influence continues through those he inspired.
