This past Monday, Team SparX 1126 lost one of its most inspirational mentors. He was 77 years young, and he sure acted that way. Leon Cormier was always cheering people up and helping people out when they needed it most. As a mentor in FIRST he taught everyone he met more than just how to use tools. Just being around Leon you could see how much he loved life and lived everyday to the fullest. Whenever Leon worked he would keep working till his task was finished, even if it meant being late to dinner. But our friend Leon was not always serious, he could crack a joke and get everyone around him to laugh and smile. Leon taught our team so many lessons and instilled in us so many values. Mr. Cormier was gracious professionalism, and he lived it every day of his life. This next season will be our first without Leon as part of our team. It will not be an easy season for our team but we will continue on with the ideals he has shown us. Please pray for Alex Cormier and his entire family and remember, each of our lives will influence others, so always live and act with gracious professionalism as Leon Cormier did.
