Abstract	Summary form only given, as follows. Dr. Leo Young passed away last September at the age of 80. Leo was a strong life-long contributor to the IEEE and the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. He was truly an innovator in everything he did, and left his imprint on long-lasting programs that many take for granted. One of Leo¿s most famous works, Microwave Filters, Impedance-Matching Networks and Coupling Structures, the well-known book Leo authored in 1964 along with his colleagues George Matthaei and Ted Jones is widely considered the `bible¿ of filter theory. Leo had extensive service on both the technical and program management fronts. Leo served as Director of Research for the U.S. Department of Defense in the mid-1980¿s and in this role he helped establish many of the DOD funded basic research programs we now take for granted. His knowledge of national and DOD R&D policy was deep and extensive. Leo¿s R&D policy contributions live on to this day in a variety of programs. Leo was an innovator in establishing many of the current programs that provide support funds for both defense research and national economic advancement. He was a principal contributor to the creation of the Small-Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, which was established by the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-219), and reauthorized until 2000, and then again until 2008.
