I saw that he passed away on a Facebook Post. My condolences. He never got to enjoy any retirement, but as the article said, he loved his work ,so he stayed on. That is quite commendable. R.I.P., Leon George. |

He was the number #1 Train Operator could have had his choice of cushy switching or yard jobs but choose to stay on the road usually the A or the F. Talk about Road Warrior a legend in transit.. Met him a couple times very nice guy. |

If he could do it all over again, he would.The word "retirement" was not part of his vocabulary. |

A sad, but uplifting story at the same time. While of course his passing is sad, his love of his job and of humanity is inspiring. May his family, friends, and colleagues take comfort in that.He saw the subway at its very worst and its very best...truly an era has ended. |

With the type of personality he likely had, if he had retired, he might have died sooner. |

Some people are afraid to retire because they don't know what they'll do with themselves all day.The people in transit he dealt with everyday were his family. |
