Leroy Peiffer Obituary
Greenville - On June 4, 2018, Leroy Vernon Peiffer, passed away at the age of 83. Leroy was husband to Latitia Jane Peiffer, who predeceased him. He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara Kay, son James Peiffer and his wife Judith, daughter Carla Mathews and her husband Charles, and grandchildren Jordin and Madison Peiffer and Bailee Mathews.
Leroy was raised in Denver, Colorado and graduated from University Colorado with a Chemistry degree. His first and only employer was Hercules, Inc. He started in the lab, moved to sales and then management where he achieved great success. His dedication to hard work and perfection in everything carried through in his commitment to the company, his coworkers, and his family. His insight and opinion on "all things" will be missed by his family and those who had the good fortune to know him.

We are sad and heartbroken to learn of Lee's passing. He was a wonderful person and well loved by many of his Hercules family. He was not only the greatest boss in my 42 years of working at Hercules, but he was a very dear friend to us as well! He will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Love to you all.
