Leo Joseph Siclari, 95, passed away on Monday, July 24, 2017.

He was born on April 12, 1922 in Olean, NY, the son of the late Paul and Mary Siclari. He moved to Vero Beach in 1978 from Washington, DC, where he worked in the FAA/Security Division of the Department of Transportation. He proudly served in the U.S. Army during World War II in the South Pacific Theater.

Leo had a great sense of humor, was larger than life, and enjoyed traveling and dancing with his wife, Gena. We are grateful for all the times he was by our sides to help and support us; teach us the value of hard work, good judgment, courage and integrity; for the sacrifices he made; and for the laughter, smiles and good times we shared. A part of us died when he left. Wherever he goes, we also go.

Leo will be carried in the hearts of his daughter and son-in-law, Paulette and Scott Lee of Vero Beach, FL; sister, Toni Martiny of Brandon, FL; grandchildren, Wanda Wagner of Waldorf, MD, and Ray Hoover, Jr. of Mechanicsville, MD; 3 great-grandchildren; 5 nieces; 1 nephew; and his caregivers, Anastasia Tyson and Quay Franklin. He will also be greatly missed by his dogs, Sophie and Drover.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife Gena; daughter Joan Hoover; and brother Frank Siclari.

Donations may be made in Leo’s name to H.A.L.O. Animal Rescue, 710 Jackson St., Sebastian, FL 32958; Humane Society, 6230 77th St., Vero Beach, FL 32967; or VNA Hospice, 1110 35th Ln., Vero Beach, FL 32960.
