Carl Richard Leger

Carl Richard Leger, 83, of Montgomery, Alabama left this world on May 4, 2020 at his home surrounded by his six children. He was reunited with the love of his life, Josepha Leger, with whom he shared 50 years of wedded bliss. We know without a doubt she was eagerly waiting at the gates of Heaven with open arms. Carl was born on April 8, 1937 in Gilboa, New York. He was the son of the late John George Leger and Ruth Evelyn Ridlon Leger.

He leaves behind his six children: Joanne Brown (Gil), Corinne Thornell, Paul Leger, Richard Leger (Cindy), Patrick Leger (Amanda) and Anne Clemmons; brother Raymond Leger; 16 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his faithful cat “Pooch.”

Carl served in the United States Air Force as a MSGT Airplane mechanic and Systems Analyst. After 20 years of service he retired and worked for the State of Alabama as a Data Processing Manager until retirement.

He left this earth and has taken with him a huge piece of the hearts of all that loved and admired him with the greatest respect he so deserved! Carl was always there for his family and would always offer help with words of wisdom even when you didn’t know you needed them. A stern man with a huge heart and a dry sense of humor to make you laugh on your saddest or happiest days. He was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend! He was a great example of a faithful Christian man that loved his country, family and friends. HIs memory will forever be with us until we see him again …We Love You!

Family members will receive guests at Leak Memory Chapel on Thursday, May 7, 2020, from 2:30- 3:30pm followed by a graveside service at Greenwood Cemetery with Rev. Rick Evans officiating.
