Leo Mayer, a long-time Gaubeisitzer, passed away October 26, 2018. Leo was a Gauverband judge for more than two decades beginning in 1981. He was elected as a Director, or Gaubeisitzer, at the Delegates Meeting held in Buffalo in 1986 and served in that role until the meeting in Omaha in 2000, a total of 14 years. For his dedicated service to the Gauverband, Leo was named an Ehrenbeisitzer at the Executive Board Meeting in Buffalo in 2003. Leo was amongst only the second class of officers ever to be named to an Ehren position in our Gauverband.
