On March 25th the world lost Leo Foster Monette. Born January 17th 1951, Leo was a 6 year National Guard member and a lifelong patriot.

Leo lived his life in and for Oswego, an original member of The Carson's News Club and a friend to everyone he'd encountered. His impact on the people around him is undeniable and deeply felt. Leo was a devoted and tireless husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He taught good deeds and kindness. There was never a dull moment when Leo was around, a natural comedian and practical joker, he could always bring a smile.

Leo is predeceased by his parents Leo and Elizabeth, his siblings Laurie, Barbara, Gregory, and Michael, and his son Leigh.

He is survived by his wife Bettie, his sister Janice, his sons Jeff {Katrina} and Mark, his grandchildren Meghanne, Robin, Aerin, Lydia, Foster and Charlotte, and his great grandchildren Evelyn, Emery and George James.

The world will not be the same without Leo. He was a role model for many and will be missed by countless people.
