I was very sad when my brother Paul informed me of Leon's passing. I always enjoyed seeing Leon when I used to take my dad (Frank Kogler) up to Sheboygan to see his family. We used to stop in to see Adeline as well as Leon and Helen on those visits. Leon always seemed to have a smile on his face no matter what was going on in his life and was always kind to us. We will miss him. Best wishes and my deepest sympathy to Leon's children and his extended family.

Kogler family + relatives in Europe

I’m sending condolences from Europe on behalf of Lisbeth Muhr and her family in Norway. They met Leon & Helen (with Uncle Frank) some years ago and had fond memories of their trip to Wisconsin visiting their distant Kogler relatives. We - Kara, Hugo, and Katarina - are also saddened by the news of our beloved Uncle Leon. He was an absolute treasure who we will always remember for his kindness. We - Kara, Hugo and Katarina -

Jennifer Peters, my sister living in Michigan, just called me with the sad news of our Uncle Leon's passing. As I, and I guess, almost all of us do, when we get calls from family, I anticipated bad news, sigh. As we chatted, we reminisced about the many many family gatherings we had in long past years, uncles aunts, cousins, at our grandparent's, Arthur and Helen Brocker's, home in New Holstein. It was a huge house, I think, a former boarding house, so large it had, actually, two adjacent addresses. It easily accomodated the large family get-togethers we had, on lotsa weekends. Despite the large numbers of adults and kids, I do not recall any instances of arguments or bad feelings. Of course, this was due to the natural respect and overall friendliness we all had for each other. It just was the way we all were. Leon and Helen epitomized that attitude and were great examples of responsible, caring parents, raising their children to live their lives also in that fashion. My memories of those times come flooding back, sweet, but, too, sad that it seems they went by so quickly. The best measure of a man's success in life is seen in the lives of his children. As such, my Uncle Leon was simply the Best. My sincere condolences to all his family, friends (I know he has many), and all loved ones.
