James Robert Leusch

I have many happy memories from my teenage years with the Leusch family.

I remember three aspects of Jim's character - 1. he was ready, at a seconds notice, to find humor in a situation 2. he was a gentleman and 3. he clearly, and vocalized it freely, felt lucky to have hitched his wagon to Viveca. Mike Freeman

I was Jim'S roommate t U. of D. in 1952-53

Jim and "the Snake" and Meg and Steffy enjoyed good times and fond memories.

I owe Jim for helping me through a difficult year.

God Bless and condolence to the family.

Wha a wonderful tribute... We’re so sorry Viveca ... so many wonderful memories ❤❤ Love, Barb & Al

Viveca, So sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed seeing Jim; both of you being delightful people.

Dear Christine,
My dear friend since 2nd grade at a loss for words at your dad's passing .
He was such a big figure in our lives. Know we will always remember him and the happy and crazy times we shared. Lots of love to the whole family!

My condolences. Jim was a great guy. I worked with him in the early 1990s.

Dear Viveca & Family, so sorry to hear of your and our loss. Jim was a one of several larger than life characters in Joe Soviero's Specialty Chemicals Division that made it such a special place to work - but only he had that cigar to go along with his stories! As others have noted, sadly another legend lost to us but we have the memories. RIP Jim.
