Howard "Larry" Leach

Larry was a good man, he was fair with everyone. God bless him for being him in all the ways he helped everyone. Peace.

I've knew Larry for many years back when we were in high school and we used to go to the First Baptist Church down on A Street. There was one time when we went swimming out at Clearwater park and he got a cramp on his leg and I pulled him back to shore. Then he waited for a little while and then went back in. Dog-gone if he didn't get another cramp and I pulled him back in again. Later he said he was thinking about going back in again, but he didn't think I would pull him back in a third...

Larry was a great man and helped many people, too many to mention names. He was a man of faith and loved his family. It is a great loss for Gas City. I knew him and he knew my dad, Jake Minch. Rest in peace Larry and may the face of God shine on him forever.

Just found out about Larry's passing... so sorry for your loss, and our loss. What a gem we have lost! Larry is one who will be sorely missed, by so many. The family will be in my prayers for sure.

Dear Patte So sorry to hear about Larry, I know how hard it is to loose your Love, as I just lost Michael March 2nd. Our prayers are with you.

We are heartbroken to learn of Larry's passing. He was so instrumental to the growth of our city and always approachable. Condolences to Patty and his family and friends.
