RICHARD LEONE Obituary
The trustees and staff of The Century Foundation are deeply saddened by the passing of Richard C. Leone. Dick served as president of The Century Foundation from 1989 to 2011, working tirelessly to help reduce inequality, strengthen social insurance, enhance voting rights and improve our education and health care systems. For Dick, public policy wasn't a job - it was a mission. TCF extends its deepest sympathies to Dick's family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

Dick Leone made significant and positive contributions to the political life of the State of New Jersey. May his example inspire bright and dedicated young people to spent part of their lives in public service. This was Dicks calling.

In the early 1970's, Dick Leone helped established the Center for Analysis of Public Issues in Princeton, a high-minded sounding name for an investigative reporting outfit that raked muck throughout New Jersey. Smart, serious, tough-minded and witty, Dick illuminated the room with his intellect and passion. He believed in America, with all its imperfections, and he will be sorely missed.

I join with his many admirers in mourning the passing of Dick Leone.
He was a model public servant who made a mark and had an impact. The public service is greatly diminished without him.
