In Memory of Leo Eskenazi, A”H, a proud member of Seattle’s Sephardic community. A kind and devoted family man, he was a self-made success, working his way up from pedaling newspapers as a young kid in downtown Seattle during the Great Depression to help support his family. Following his service with the U.S. Navy, he earned a master’s degree from the University of Washington and went on to build a successful business. Leo was assisted in his all his endeavors by his wife and devoted partner of over 60 years, Mary Eskenazi. Leo was a lifelong “foodie” and good cook who delighted his family preparing Sephardic dishes. A winning smile, hard work, and Leo’s positive outlook on life were his tools in facing every aspect of life. He made us laugh even when things were tough. His good humor is missed every day. En pas descansa. ~Renee Eskenazi
