I don't believe so. Leo and Diane lived in Brooklyn, and I met them and their son Lee. He's the relative I'm directly aware of.
Aside from Ellison's work, they did the covers for Terry Carr's Ace SF Specials line, Time magazine covers, and an assortment of children's books. They won two Caldecott Awards. They worked at facing drawing boards, and when a commission came in, after discussing the approach they would take, one would start and work on it a bit, then pass it over. They commented that on their best work,
they couldn't tell you who did what part.
Leo died in 2012:
