He was very grateful for Tracy.Leo was born August 9th, 1935, to Leo B Grasky and Evelyn (Chillman) in Superior, Wisconsin. The family eventually settled in Miles City, MT, where he went to school and graduated from Sacred Heart High School. He excelled at basketball and football. He attended Carroll College. He met Patti Friend at Sacred Heart, she was a cheerleader, and the two were married in 1961. From that union came five daughters.

However, Leo was re-introduced to Terry Schieffert, also a Sacred Heart Highschool classmate and the two were married in July 1990 and have resided in Sheridan for 27 years. They owned P.O.

Leo moved his family to Sheridan in 1980, where he managed Firestone Tire Store and retired in 1999.Leo was a hard working man, dedicated to his family. He worked 3 jobs at one time so Patti could stay home with the girls. He was always friendly, quick witted, awnry and never afraid to speak his mind which is what people loved about him.
