Jesse Leo Richter always went by his middle name, Leo. He was married first to Maurice White and they had one child who did not survive. They divorced and he married second to Nora Louise Weeks. They had two sons. Leo and Nora would come to East Point often to visit with my grandfather. Leo always lived in south Georgia. Leo liked to go fishing on Altoona Lake or Lake Lanier with my grandfather on his home made fishing boat. I would go with them always because I love to fish with my grandfather. He would bait my hook for me and I always caught the most fish. My grandfather and Leo would play guitars on summer nights sitting in lawn chairs in their back yard where I spent so much time during my life. I remember growing up with Leo and Nora's sons, Carl and Charles because they were my age. We had so much fun playing hide and seek and other games in the yard as kids. Leo was buried in Reedy Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Norman Park, Colquitt, Georgia, USA with his wife, Nora.
