I always liked Barron Leeds and willingly laughed at his wonderful, corny jokes. His passing creates an ache in my heart for Ellen (his daugher; my friend), Claire and the entire family.

Sincere condolences on your loss.
My sister, Margaret Husing Katz forwarded this Obit from the Asbury Park Press noting that this might well be a father's passing in the family of my long lost dear friend at Brookside School in Allendale - Ellen Leeds (now Zebrun)...
The loss of a parent is not easy. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I worked with Barron in Elmwood Park back in the early 80's. He was a kind and friendly man. My condolences on your loss.
