Mr. Walter was a kind-hearted and giving man. He loved to help people, loved his children and grandchildren, and was a good father and husband. He devoted his time into raising and caring for his family. He was a hard worker, was well liked by all, and will be dearly missed by his family and friends. In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away. You suffered much in silence You fought so hard to stay. You faced your task with courage; And still you kept on fighting, Until the very end. God saw you getting tired, That a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you And whispered, “Come with me”. So when we saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter Leone and the late Alice Faircloth; his wife, Charlotte Faircloth; one daughter, Alice Faircloth; and one grandson, Michael Wayne Shaw. He is survived by his two daughters, Daphine Deleon of Logansport, LA and Shonda Rosales of Keatchie, LA; three sons, George Henry Leone of Haughton, LA, Sanford Jennings of Keithville, LA, and Tommy Faircloth of Logansport, LA; seven grandchildren; one sister, Ruby Ebarb of Hemphill, TX; and three brothers, Jesse Leone of Avon Park, FL, Stanley Leone of TX, and Wayne Leone of Iowa Park, TX.
