To Dick's Beloved Family,
My most sincere love to all of you. I did not know about Dick's passing until yesterday. Otherwise I would have been with you. He was the very beloved husband of my favorite cousin, Arleen. Dick and Arleen were always cherished by me. When they went for walks, they would always stop in to say, hello. When Dick walked alone with his dog, he would do likewise-always smiling; "Hi, honey", "How are you today?" he would say. I shall miss him as equally as I do Arleen which is very much. I always thought the world of him. Sincere love to all of you at this time. Aloyse

I met Mr. Leach back in 1976 when I was an intern at Kodak. He worked with my dad and I heard many travel stories about his RV and all the states he went too. Years later in 2012, I saw Mr. Leach again with my dad and we picked up the travel stories like we never missed a beat.
Mr. Leach was a great friend and coworker to my dad.
Mr. Leach, thank you for your service to our country from one veteran to another.
To your family, please celebrate the great life he lived and share a travel story.
