Edward J. Leemon, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025 at the age of 90. He was the loving husband of 70 years to Alice (nee Callsen) and devoted and loving father to the late Edward, Bernadette, John (Mary), Kennith (Lorraine). He was a wonderful grandfather to Edward (Phylicia), Erin, Kennith and Paige (Michael) as well as GG Pop to Audrey, Leah, Eddie, Michael and Morgan. He always had a joke to tell and loved watching MTV's Ridiculousness and listening to Jim Reeves. He will be remembered by his deep love and devotion to his family, especially his wife, Alice, who was the love of his life. He would tell her every day how much he loved her and couldn't live without her. He also leaves behind sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces and nephews who will greatly miss him. Special thanks to Bayada Home Health Aides, Dee and Tamika and sister-in-law Betty Jane Basevski who all took wonderful care of him, along with Vitas Hospice Healthcare.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face...
May you keep safe in the gentle loving arms of God.

You raised a wonderful son, Mr. Leemon.

Ken, letting go of a father is never easy. As you grieve his death in the coming year there will be both smiles and tears, regrets and gratitude. I am reminded that the lifetime with my father was short and yours was long. Long or short the time all the time was precious.
