Following high school, he worked for John Slunecka, Walter Martinmaas and the Henry Martinmaas farms. Leo was drafted into the United States Army on June 26, 1945. He attended boot camp at Pine Camp in New York and Fort Myers in Virginia. He served in World War II as a private in the military battalion as a guard patrolman, and was a guard at the Pentagon. Leo received a WWII Victory Ribbon and was honorably discharged on November 18, 1946. He married Lucy Mary Haneke on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 1951 at St. Liborius Catholic Church in Polo. They moved to a farm 4 ½ miles north of Polo. In 1957, they bought the Ed and Mamie Peterka farm 8 1/2 miles west of Polo. They made the move there on April 7, 1957 during a snow storm.
