Albert Ernest Leake Jr.

Al and I had similar backgrounds - Reno High School, Navy, UNR. I first met Al when we were autocrossing in the Reno Region of the SCCA. At a SCCA water skiing day at Lake Tahoe, Al, who knew I was working for the county golf course during the Summer break, asked me what i would be doing when school started again. I told him I wasn't sure and there, on the spot he offered me a job at Neveda Bell. I went from part-time to fulltime to management and an exciting adventure with Bell Yellow...

I first met Al more than 50 years ago when we were kids at Reno High School in the 50s, and later worked for him when he was a district manager for Nevada Bell in the late 60s. He was, back then, and surely remained so throughout his life, an ideal example of what a "really cool" guy should be. I last saw him in 1987 at a Nevada Bell retirement gathering. He was still "cool" on the outside and warm on the inside. He was an outstanding, innovative leader and manager and a lot of fun to be...

We will always remember Al as a friend to us and all SCCA workers. He gave us checkered flags, rides for our workers, and Hot Shoes. A favorite memory was when he gave "the chicken who won the race" to the Chief of T&S at Lime Rock Park in 2006. Sophia, with Al as her pilot, was "faster than a speeding pullet!" We will truly miss seeing him on the track or in the paddock. Our thoughts are with you, Myr.

I am so sorry for your loss. Lorene, I am so grateful you were able to spend time with your dad these last few months. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deep condolences goes to my guardian angel,Myr,warm-hearted and always cheerful and open and found Al as her best partner to share their lives and did what they found it to be exciting.Al,rest in peace.

Al's spirit lives on in his daughters and grandchildren whom he loved so much. You will be missed. Kyle Richards

Al will always be loved and missed by the entire Wilson clan. We will never forget his portrayal of "Santa" on Christmas Eve.

He always had a sparkle in his eye and a great story to share. God Bless you Al. We will never forget you. You were one of a kind.

Al.....a warm hearted, honest, beautiful man.
We stayed at The Cottage of Al and Myr's twice. They are by far the most lovely people we have had the pleasure to meet.
Our hearts go out to Myr , Al's daughters and the grandchildren. We know Al will be watching over you all......with that cheeky grin he always had.
Much love Daren, Pauline & Lee Hampshire, United Kingdom

Myr and Family
Our thoughts are with you and the family.
