Art was always a good guy. Lost touch with him after high school, but I'm sure he made many new friends when he moved out west. Always liked to have a good time and shared his brew. Hope he's at peace and is kicking back with our other friends who we have lost over the years.

Art and I pal'd around for many years from high school until I moved to Maine. Art was always working on something or other. A hot rodded golf cart, an old VW super beetle or a Zcar. Art taught me a lot about plumbing and construction. I worked with Billy for a while doing fine finish carpentry Bill is a great guy too. Both these guys were hard workers with great sense of humor. Art will always live on in my memories as a super generous, hard working guy. I am sorry for his entire family. I know his mom really kept great care of him when he was recharging his batteries at home before another round of fun. Artie loved fish sticks. Good bye Artie Leek you lived life like everyday could be the last, so full of enthusiasm and bravado. Arthur was a one of a kind..Love to the Leek family..Jake Null - Bar Harbor Maine USA

To The Leek Family--I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Arty in high school and have many fond memories of that time. I haven't seen Arty since our school days so I don't know what he'd been up to since 1982, but I hope he had a wonderful life filled with much happiness.
