My heart goes out to the Leaman Family at this sad time. Jim was the youngest, cutest member of the talented Stebbins Drum Row back in the day. Jim, Steve & Don all had a great time playing in the band & they were liked by everyone. Hopefully memories of those "Good Old Days" will lessen the pain of Jim´s passing.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Jim played timpani for several UF choral performances and I always enjoyed working with him. He is a great musician and person. He will be remembered and missed by the UF Music community.

When I came to UF as the new Director of Bands during COVID in 2020, Jim had already planned on retiring and stepping back. But he graciously stayed on for one more year to both help me transition the program and to finish up the training of one of his talented senior students. He was quick to offer friendship and help to me as both a new faculty member and a new member of the Ohio music community. I´m grateful for Jim´s service to UF and the band program, as well as his welcoming nature. We will remember him and continue building on the strong foundation he left for us.
I pray for the repose of his soul and the consolation of his family.

Our prayers are with the Leaman family. I have many memories of Mr. Leaman at both North and Lima Senior. He was one of my favorite teachers and will be sadly missed. May God be with you during this difficult time.

The Maginnity Family sends their condolences to the Leaman Family. Mr. Leaman gave my children a lot of good memories from band class. Patrick had a good time with Mr Leaman, so much he took classes at ONU from him. God Bless

Sheri, Jenny and family
On behalf of the whole musical family at UF, please accept our sincerest sympathies over Jim's passing. I sat with him just a few months ago at a Lima Concert Band concert. He told me at that time that he had had a stroke. I texted him on June 10 saying that I was thinking about him and wondering how he was doing. He was positive and looking forward to getting back to playing. So this is such a shock to us. I spent a lot of hours with Jim in the band room at UF and I can tell you all that he loved his family and was so proud of all of you. We'll all remember him in the band family at Findlay. Here's hoping that his memory will be a blessing to all of you. He was a special guy and he'll be missed by many.
