Many people who grew up with former Councilman Carlo “Rocky” Leone, as both a colleague and a mentor, reflected on his life and career at a memorial service August 17.
Leone served as Peoria City Council’s representative for the Pine District from 1999 until this past April, when he resigned due to health issues. He ultimately passed away in June.
The memorial service, held at the St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church, was attended by many of the most important politicians and service members of the city.
