Mr. Leach was one of my favorite teachers. I had him for history in 8th grade at Roosevelt and I remember him as a chaperone for several of the dances; then when I was a nervous sophomore starting high school at North, I was very happy to see that he had transferred to North & would be my homeroom teacher. It was nice to see a familiar (faculty) face! I can't remember a time when he didn't have a smile on his face or time for a student who needed help with coursework. He was one of those teachers that truly cared about his students. He was a blessing to many and will be missed. My condolences & prayers go out to his family.
