I just today was lucky enough to come across this obituary of Mr. Leach. Me and my family have known him for century and when I say "he was a quality of a man"....they don't make them anymore. His passing is a tremendous lost to all who knew him. My heart is on the floor and I am lost reading this obituary. I will make it my business to seek his (My family) family and make them an extended part of mine. He treated me like a son. I will always love him. I am lost knowing he passed. God bless his soul. May he be in God's glory. Love you Preston, you monster of a man with badge. The good people loved and the bad people feared you.

Preston and I worked together years ago. I will miss him singing in the choir at church. I have lost a good friend. My prayers are with the family. God bless.
