James Leaman

God Bless!!!

Phil and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Jim well and had a great time with him at your wedding. He will be missed.

My heart goes out to the Leaman Family at this sad time. Jim was the youngest, cutest member of the talented Stebbins Drum Row back in the day. Jim, Steve & Don all had a great time playing in the band & they were liked by everyone. Hopefully memories of those "Good Old Days" will lessen the pain of Jim´s passing.

But he graciously stayed on for one more year to both help me transition the program and to finish up the training of one of his talented senior students. He was quick to offer friendship and help to me as both a new faculty member and a new member of the Ohio music community. I´m grateful for Jim´s service to UF and the band program, as well as his welcoming nature. We...

Our prayers are with the Leaman family. I have many memories of Mr. Leaman at both North and Lima Senior. He was one of my favorite teachers and will be sadly missed. May God be with you during this difficult time.

The Maginnity Family sends their condolences to the Leaman Family. Mr. Leaman gave my children a lot of good memories from band class. Patrick had a good time with Mr Leaman, so much he took classes at ONU from him. God Bless
