Leo was born in Shinglehouse, PA on November 8, 1931, the son of Lawrence and Ona Kenyon.  He honorably served in the US Airforce during the Korean Conflict from 1949-1953.   

Leo and his wife owned and operated Kenyon’s Store on Keuka Lake from 1957-1977.  He also served as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service in Penn Yan for many years.  

Leo was an avid fishermen and outdoorsman.  He enjoyed trolling for lake trout and even making his own lures.  He knew every great fishing spot on Keuka Lake!
