Alan Leibson Obituary
86, of Louisville, passed away peacefully on March 25, 2015.
Alan was born on June 14th (Flag Day) 1928 in Louisville to the late Charles and Hallie Leibson. He graduated from Louisville Male High School and the University of Louisville with a bachelors in pre-law. He then obtained his Juris Doctorate from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law. He was a US Army veteran, serving his country proudly and with distinction during the Korean War.
Alan had a very successful career in law as a plantiff's malpractice attorney which lasted over six decades. In 1969, he served as the president of the Kentucky Bar Association. In 2006, he was awarded a lifetime membership award from KATA, the Kentucky Academy of Trial Attorneys.
Alan was an active member of the Jewish community in Louisville, serving in numerous capacities over the years with The Jewish Federation, the Standard Country Club and The Temple Brotherhood. He was a lifelong member of Adath Israel B'rith Shalom (The Temple).
Alan was a loving and devoted husband, father and friend. He truly cared about his fellow man and rarely met a stranger. Alan had a wonderful smile and sense of humor, living every day of his life to the fullest. His legacy will be remembered by all and surpassed by few.
He is preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Joseph C. Leibson; and two nieces, Lori Leibson and Susan Leibson Graham.
He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Carol A. Leibson; his son, Aaron Charles Leibson; his daughter, Andrea Leibson Richardson; and his two grandchildren, Jacob F. Richardson and Lindsay Richardson.
The family would like to thank Caring Excellence, LLC and his devoted doctors for the loving care they provided.
Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Sunday, March 29, 2015 at Herman Meyer & Son, 1338 Ellison Avenue, with burial to follow in The Temple Cemetery. Visitation will begin after 1 p.m.
Expressions of sympathy may be made to The Wounded Warriors Project or Adath Israel B'rith Shalom (The Temple) Brotherhood.
