Bryant, AR Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Leo Pitchford was a man that I loved very much. I cannot remember a time that I did not know him. Mr. Pitchford was a true friend to my family over the years. His love for life and laughter was contagious. He was one of the funniest men I ever knew. I still remember some of the funny things he said and laugh out loud to this day. I always loved to be with him because of his quick wit and his ever positive outlook on life. Leo Pitchford was my friend, and I will never forget him.james jackson
