James Ricky Leffler was born on August 19, 1951 and departed the world quietly on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 surrounded by his family after a struggle with numerous health challenges. Rick bore all these challenges with dignity and grace.
Waiting for Rick in heaven were his parents, James and Anna, brother Mike and sister Leanna.
Rick leaves behind his beloved wife Lisa and his children, Chris, Tom, Brian, Stephen, Leah and Sarah. Four brothers, Jack, Joe, Chuck, Jerry, two sisters, Amy and Lesa, eight grandchildren also many relatives and friends.
Rick wore many hats in his time and was an accomplished guitar player, carpenter, painter and Christian, but the hat that fit best was as a husband and father. It was apparent to anyone who saw them together how much they loved each other. Rick will be missed.
