HOMEGUARD

HOMEGUARD

























"El Sabado 7 de Junio, 2014, un pequeno contingente de pescadores pertenecientes a Hobie Kayak de Southern California, y amigos queridos, se unieron todos en harmonia de kayakistas para ofrecer sus respetos finales a Leopoldo "Leo" Terrero, amigo Venezolano. A continuacion hay un video de unas escenas en La Jolla justo antes del mediodia en la que resulto ser un hermoso dia, donde le rendimos homenaje a uno de los nuestros en La Jolla. Los restos de Leo estan ahora junto a los Mossbacks locales descansando eternamente en las aguas del Pacifico, y Leo queda marcado para siempre como uno de los Guardianes de La Jolla.
La esposa de Leo, Georgette, estaba en escena esparciendo sus cenizas en el Oceano Pacifico que Leo tanto amaba, junto a todos nosotros incluyendo Jerry, Richard, RedSled Team, Gabe, Rick, Nic y crew, mientras su hijo Christian surfeaba en la tabla de Leo por una ultima vez...
Descansa en Paz Hermano."

What a special and beautiful tribute to honor your beloved friend, husband, and father this way. I can only imagine Leo is smiling down from heaven as you all came together to honor his life. Very nice indeed.

I hope one day, when my time comes that my friends and family will do something similar for me. God bless.

I very sad to learn of Leo's passing, he was always there to chat with on the water and on the beach. I loved the guy! You'll be missed Leo.

I'm releasing my next fish in your honor to swim the worlds waters and take you along for the trip.

Rest in peace my friend.

Thank you Wade for the amazing video. I was really sad that I couldn't find you guys that day, this video made me feel like I was there, thank you. Leo will always be remembered every time I go out on the Ocean and take a sacrifice from our Jewel.
