John Leydon Sr.

I just read a lovely memory of your dear wife Barbara that
I had a difficult time completing
because it told the story of a
beautiful selfless mother and wife. I know there was great
rejoicing in Heaven when she
saw you and her other family members.
I know she is now resting with all of you in everlasting peace...
Sincerely,

Dear Leydon Family; Very sorry to hear about the loss of Jack. Your father was a very kind and intelligent man he guided me in all the right directions thru my high school years. He was a wonderful wonderful man...Love Billy Bemonte

John, Stacey and family, we were so sorry to hear about your Dad. Will keep you in our prayers. Sincerely, Bob and Lenore Ofiero

He was the best! Loved him at Westhill H.S. "tried" to keep me out of trouble and he did! Great man! I'm so sorry for your loss!

Barbara,

So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. In this difficult time, may you find...
The kindness of friends to comfort you,

Dear Mrs. Leydon and family,
I was so very sorry to hear of Jack´s passing. Jack was my football coach at Rippowam high school as well as my economics teacher. I also worked with Jack for many years at Westhill high school. Please accept my sincere sympathy and condolences. Jack was a mentor and friend as well as one of the good guys.

Our sincere condolences to the Leydon family for your loss. John and our Dad ( Dan Hogan) graduated from Stamford High together in 1954 and they remained friends throughout their lives. My brothers and i were introduced to Mr. Leydon thru our Dad and we soon saw why he was so admired and respected by anyone who knew him, rest in Peace Mr. Leydon.

My heartfelt condolences to The Leydon Family. May Jack Rest In Eternal Peace. God Bless you all

Oh sad to hear Mr. Leydon was at Rippowam I worked in attendance office with him and Betty. He taught me a lot and was such an awesome man. May you rest in peace and thank you for all you did for all us kids. I graduated class of 1984. Mr. Leydon use to send me to Bess Eaton for donuts all the time. RIP

As the parent of a daughter who attended Westhill High School in the 1990's and being the liaison with The Youth Leadership Conference, I knew Jack Leydon as the Vice-Principal.
I had insight to the man he was...when asked, always willing to help; whenever I had questions, he was there to guide-- and provide my needed answers.
To his wife, children and grandchildren-
I just want you ALL to understand there are many of us out here whom you do NOT know but would like you to realize Jack Leydon also impacted OUR lives.
Once a teacher, our Mr. Leydon taught...
AND
as a man, he impacted lives.
In this day and age, we need MORE exactly like him.
Decent, honorable.
He is never forgotten.
I will remember him fondly and keep him in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Robin Benvenuto

My sincere condolences to the Leydon family for your loss. Mr. Leydon was a tremendous man, I first knew him while a student at Ripp then as a teacher at Rippowam as well. He truly cared about his students and I was also lucky enough to have him as my guidance counselor. He assisted me in many ways and was instrumental in me being admitted to Southern Ct. I later was lucky enough to teach at Ripp as well and he, again was one of my strongest backers. My respect for Mr. Leydon is, heartfelt, he was a great mentor and the perfect example of "Teacher". I'm indebted to him and my respect continues, he was an awesome man. Rest in Peace Mr. Leydon, you are the Best!!

To Leydon Family
Sorry to hear of the passing of Jack. I will always remember him with a smile and a good word for everyone that he met. May the love and memories of him sustain you all through this most difficult of times. RIP Jack.

To The LEYDON FAMILY MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL. I GREW IN THE COVE WITH YOU ALL. MAY JOHN REST IN PEACE WITH THE LORD

An exemplar, the likes of whom are rare but indelible. Soft spoken, with words that could have the impact of a hammer. "Coach" far beyond the playing fields. Thank you.

Dear Leydon Family,
Jack and I grew up living near each other-----he on Willowbrook Ave and myself around the corner on Uncas Road. We were Altar Boys together at St. Mary's Catholic Church during the late 1940s and early 1950s. I moved away from Stamford in 1953 and lost track of him. It's satisfying to learn how successful his live has been in Stamford.
Rest in peace Jackie.
