Edward VanLeuven Obituary
Born on March 28, 1947 in Walden, NY (and as he would tell you, on the kitchen table, feet first, with the cord wrapped around his neck)
He was a graduate of Valley Central High School (class of 1965), OCCC, Manhattan College and RIT (MBA).
Ed spent 36 ½ years as an engineer with Kodak and after retirement he spent a few months at the Seneca Park Zoo as the night watchman (oh the stories he would tell) and then 11 years with the Greece Central School District as a district courier. After retirement he and Annette traveled quite a bit. They spent the last 6 winters in Delray Beach, Florida where they made the most wonderful friends and spent time with the Florida families.
He loved his golf, fishing, the Yankees and most of all his Bills. Ed is survived by his loving wife, Annette
