Dear Leachy Family,
I have known Bill for 10 or more years in selling him his automobiles. I will miss his dry humor and wit.

I have always had great respect for Bill Leachy. He has been an important influence as a grandfather and friend to my daughters, their children and to myself. He was an invaluable help and encouraged me when I studied for a degree in Mechanical Design. I will always have fond memories of his kindness and humor.

I have treasured memories of spending an entire summer as a teenager with my 1st cousin Bill and the wonderful Leachy family on their "farm" in East Aurora NY. Thank you Bill for sharing your loving nature with me.
