Leopold "Leo" Ivan Zenner

Leopold "Leo" Ivan Zenner, 91, passed away in Scottsdale, Arizona on Saturday, February 1 with family by his side.

Leo was born August 5, 1933, in Syracuse, New York to Blanche and Samson Zenner. He attended Syracuse University for a short time before enlisting in the Air Force. Leo served in Germany during the Korean War and was honorably discharged in 1954 after four years of service. After his military service, Leo moved to Colorado. There Leo attended the University of Denver where he studied accounting, and in nearby Boulder, he met his wife of 57 years, Nancy.

After getting married in 1957, Leo and Nancy moved to New York City before eventually settling in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1960, living with his family until Nancy passed away in 2014. Leo was a successful CPA and enjoyed playing tennis and racquetball as well as spending time with family and friends. He was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan since the birth of the team in 1960, a Broadway musical aficionado, and a lover of classic movies and trivia. After a long and successful career, Leo retired and became a ROMEO (Retired Old Men Eating Out), enjoying lunches with his friends.

Leo is preceded in death by his wife, Nancy, and survived by his three children (Lisa, Lori, and David), six grandchildren (Lauren, Julianne, Meghan, Lindsay, Jacob, and Emily), and two great-grandchildren (Zachary and Joshua).
