Richard D. Leon

Rich was a great friend through my Christ the King grade school and Haddonfield High School years. We spent countless hours playing basketball together, catching turtles in the local ponds and streams and exploring the outdoors. I remember our times together fondly and always respected him (and looked up to him some since he was a year older) and his life choices, especially his choice of Susie as a life partner.

Sister Connie made me aware of Rich´s passing. Cannot say I personally knew Rich well, but he was a person I always liked and for whom I had great respect.

Rich had a > keen intellect, great/wry sense of humor and had an authenticity that did not tolerate bs. He was who he was, knew what he liked, and did not let anything or anyone...

I was sorry to hear about the death of your father, husband, grandfather. You spoke so often to me about how you cherished the time that he spent with you and your family, particularly after he and your mom moved to this area. From his obituary, he certainly lived a very full life. I am sorry for your loss.

Our hearts are heavy after hearing the news of Rich's passing. Our prayers go out to Susie and the entire family.
