I am not personally familiar with Leo's Castle, but I believe it was owned by the grandfather of a friend of mine, Lee Roupas. He was named after his grandfather. I believe his grandfather also made some bouzoki (Greek guitar) records. Lee's grandfather died quite a few years ago, and his grandmother died maybe six or seven years ago. Lee is currently a personal trainer, and he has a website under his name. He also has a cousin with the same name who is involved in politics. Hope this helps you.

Yes it does help and I am going to look up Leo's grandkids. Leo had a hod dog stand a 51st and Wolcott and when he moved down the street our family took over that spot. We used to help each other like if one of us ran out of dogs or buns we would lend our stuff to each other. We were friends back in the 50's.
