Pivot Point Founder Leo Passage Passes Away

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leo Passage, Pivot Point's beloved mentor and founder. As many of you are aware, Leo was diagnosed with a degenerative lung condition that he conquered for the past 12 years. For many years, Leo was able to stay ahead of his disease by taking very good care of himself and always remaining positive. In recent weeks, as the fight became even more challenging, Leo surrounded himself with his family, and passed peacefully this morning (May 11, 2011).
