Leland Briggs Obituary
Epsom, NH - Leland F. Briggs, 79, of Epsom, passed away at home surrounded by his family on Friday, July 7, 2023.
Born on December 31, 1943 in Manchester, he was the son of the late Albert J. and Eleanor F. (Lear) Briggs.
Leland was educated in the local schools and a graduate of Pembroke Academy, Class of 1963. He went on to proudly serve his country in the United States Air Force working on Air Craft Carriers for the next four years, continuing his military service in the Guard and serving at Pease for 5 years before his honorable discharge. Leland was a hard worker but he also knew how to enjoy life, he traveled all over supporting his daughters with their horse shows, going camping and time with the family in York Beach every year, taking drives in his 1963 Chevy Impala and watching the birds while enjoying his morning coffee and the company of his Jack Russell, Ms. Willow. Leland was a licensed electrician and he worked for many years with Huckins Oil Company doing plumbing and heating before going into business for himself with Lee's Plumbing and Heating. He enjoyed listening to music, mostly 70's classic rock of the Beatles, Beach Boys and Elvis. Leland also worked part-time as a police officer for the Town of Epsom for four years.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his son, Michael L. Briggs and a brother, Ronald Briggs.

Mr. Lee was a great man and we all loved him. He was always happy to see the family on Sunday dinners or any holiday we all spent together. When ever we would go over to visit you would always find him out on his tractor working around the yard or barn, always busy doing something. He will be missed be all that knew and loved him. It was an honor to know him and call him a true friend.
