Norris Leach Obituary
On April 8, 2023 Norris Leach, 91, went to be with the Lord and to reunite with his best friend and love of his life for over 70 years, wife Gladys Leach. Norris was surrounded by many of his family members all confident in Jesus Christ's love for him as Norris made the journey into the next life.
Norris was a self-taught, man with many incredible talents including, carpentry, plumbing, electrician, music, as well as teaching himself how to speak the German language. He served our country during the Korean Conflict while in the National Guard. He loved to attend church, hunt with his family, bowling with his crew, and was an excellent bass guitar player. He formed a band called "City Lights" and played across the State for many years, later created a gospel band known as "Lighthouse Gospel" with his best friends Charlie Bishop and Vernon Hunt.
Both Gladys and Norris aka "Nena & Beempa" (to his grandchildren) had unconditional love and pride for their family.
