Leo Jordan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Passaic, Leo was a proud lifelong resident of Clifton. He graduated from Clifton High School and went on to earn his Bachelor's degree from William Paterson University and had been employed for over forty years in his family's business, All Service Contractors Equipment, in Pompton Plains where he was a manager. By far though, his "life" was his passion for music, especially playing the guitar nothing brought him more joy and happiness than this.
Leo was predeceased by his loved and missed parents, Leo F. Jordan, Sr. (11/23/1985) and Marianne (nee Oles) Jordan (08/24/2017).
He is survived by his dear brother, Alan Jordan, Sr. and his wife, Edna, of Clifton as well as by their loved children Alan Jordan, Jr. and Catherine Jordan.
Memorial Visitation will be held on Saturday November 15th from 1-5pm at Bizub-Quinlan Funeral Home, 1313 Van Houten Avneue, Clifton. A Memorial Service will be held during the visitation. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Peter's Haven.

I first saw Leo play guitar almost 30 years ago. That night I wanted to break the neck off my guitar, he was that good.
Over the last 10 or so years, we started going to shows together including to see a few Jazz greats in NYC. I will truly miss him. He was a good man and a great guitarist.

Sincerest condolences to Leo's family and friends. What a terrible and terribly sad loss.
You have chosen a perfect photo of his smile - so easy to remember well!
Although it's been too many years, we did make some fine music together and I will hold those fabulous memories (even when he wasn't exactly sure where I landed in the tune). He kept making his guitar sing with me, and smiling...
Godspeed, old musical friend.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend Leo jordan Jr. I first met Leo while he was playing guitar for The Agents at Uncle Roy's Halloween party in Clifton. I believe the year was 1990. I have enjoyed his talents many times and many places since then, most notably at B.B.King's in Manhattan. Leo was always kind, polite, fun and a pleasure to be around. He will be deeply missed by many. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
