Phillip R Leo, born on August 17, 1921 in Newburgh, New York, to the late
Constance Leo and the late Dominic Leo, passed away at age 97 on August 25, 2018
in Manhattan, New York. His wife of 50 years was by his side. Phillip served in
the Army in World War II. He began a life long career as a textile buyer at S
Strouck and Co. He soon moved to Manhattan where he continued to work in
textiles until his death. He loved living in Manhattan but often returned to
Newburgh to spend time with his family. He was admired and respected in his
field for his expertise and magnetic personality. He considered his customers
and coworkers as extended family, and was a mentor to many. Among the firms he
worked for were Collins and Aikman, National Spinning, and Glen Raven. He and
his wife were seasoned world travelers, and he was never without a flashy
convertible! He will be missed by many. Phillip was the beloved husband of
Jeanne Leo. He is survived by his daughters, Carol Seneca and Marsha Leo; and
baby brother (93!) Charles Leo, as well as his grandchildren, great
grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. The family invites donations in
