Not sure what to say?

RIP Mr. Leach you were such a huge influence on me. As a young child that had suffered great loss...I was lost ,Mr Leach was my saving grace. He knew I was going thru alot but he still held me accountable instead of feeling sorry for me. Lesson I still live by today. Much Love, Janis (Brown) Kuhn

To say I took care of Jack just doesn't sound right because in many ways Jack took care of me too! Jack talked me through and gave me advice on more occasions then I can remember. I worked for Jack but Jack was also like a family member to me. Many days and nights spent making food together, watching sports on TV, listening to LOTS of music, him playing his musical instruments for me. I will always remember and think so highly of Jack. He was the ultimate family man and I was always so...

He was the best teacher ever!! Marsha Bledsoe

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Jack was my uncle. As a kid, I was in awe of his humor, his smile, his wry wit, and his almond orchard. I played a few hands of poker with him, and he and my dad, Jim, just loved to tell jokes (some off-color) and talk about the world at large. In later years, Jack and Corny would host massive family reunions which are now some of my warmest memories. I last saw Jack a few years ago and we sat out back drinking martinis that Corny had made and talking about what his kids were up to and the...

Jack was an icon for me and a legend in Little League baseball. I´ll forever remember riding in and on his little green MG across the grass to the ball fields and practice areas. The crowning achievement for this 12-year boy was being led by Jack to the Modesto City Little League Championship and getting to be the starting pitcher when our Garrison A team won the game. RIP Jack...you taught us well how to live and play the game of life.

I could write a book. It would be titled "My Life as Shaped and Impacted by Jack Leach". Jack was an amazing person and I was so fortunate and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to experience his influence.

Very sorry to hear of Jack´s passing. I always enjoyed being on the same team during our many years of Senior Softball. He was a very good player and fun to be around. I am glad that my daughter and I stopped for lunch at Samaritan Village last year and got the catch up with him and other Senior Softballers there. May he Rest in Peace.

I am very saddened to hear this news. Jack was like a grandpa to me as I worked for him as a full time caregiver. It brings tears to my eyes know that my buddy is gone. I love you so much Jack and I hate that I couldn´t come see you as much due to being in another city for nursing school. I will always be your buddy and you will forever have my heart. Love always, Ruby (apex caregiver) Aka "Bingo Queen". I love you Jack. Condolences to your entire family
