Poem about Leo Ogg by his daughter, Darla-Jean Ogg

On Saturday

He died on a Saturday morning. He went quickly and quietly through a narrow door that separates breath from silence. He knew only a little pain.
He lived as he died, quietly, easily, unafraid.
He lived with faith and hope in a world of despair.
He lived with happiness and love in a world of hate.
He lived with pride in a world of disgrace.
He lived with patriotism in a world of anger, with peace in a world of turmoil, with loyalty in a world of deceit.
He lived with optimism in a world of pessimism: he saw blue skies in a world of black clouds.
He lived simply in a world of confusion, kindly in a world of cruelty, relaxed in a tense society.
He loved the young, with all their ignorance and all the stars in their eyes that reflected the twinkle in his own.
He loved laughter amid tears of pain and despair.
He loved blue: blue eyes, blue skies, blue seas in a world growing black with fear and pollutants.
He loved a puppy, frisky and bright and eager to try whatever he asked of her. He loved the love she returned to him.
He loved a wife and family that tried to show the love they knew for him, as he loved the children of his children who told him of love in their laughter.
He died on a Saturday morning. He left no will, no money. But in his death he left a wealth of love.
He was my dad.

Nick Wallingford, May 2011: I remember visiting Uncle Leo and Aunt Chris, probably sometime in the early 1960s. Uncle Leo had dropped something on his thumb, and had a blood blister appearing underneath the nail. He had his small pocket knife, and twirled it around, drilling down through the nail and into the blood spot. When it got through, it releaved the pressure.

As a young boy, I was amazed!

Nick Wallingford says that his mother Corinne, Leo's sister, always felt a bit sad for Leo, feeling that as the youngest of the three boys, he got the short end of things some times. She said that when the family home got divided up, with Andy and PeeWee living there, and later when his business with Andy broke up, she did not feel he was treated really fairly, but was always cheerful about it.

In 1935 in the Houston Directory Leo was living at 619 West 26th Street, Houston, Texas. He was working as a glazier for Acme Glass Company.
