Harold Leedy, Jr Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 7, 2025.
Harold Leedy, Jr., aged 86, passed away on January 21, 2025, in Browns Mills, NJ. Born on September 16, 1938, Harold had been a proud resident of Browns Mills since 1964, where he was well-known and deeply integrated into the community.

Harold graduated from Pemberton Township High School in 1958 and soon after embarked on a dedicated career at McGuire Air Force Base, working in HVAC until his retirement. His commitment to his work was paralleled by his passion for motorcycles and bicycling, pursuits he enjoyed throughout his life.

Harold was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Elizabeth Leedy; his daughter, Sheila Leedy; and his son, Harold "Duke" Leedy III. He is survived by his daughter, Robin Leedy; grandchildren, Keith Carney, Constance Laws, Adam Laws, Melonie Akers, and Sarah Leedy; and four great-grandchildren, who will all miss him dearly.

Harold's ashes will be interred in Montgomery, Alabama, as per his wishes.
