Raul Leal

Born on March 18, 1950, and raised in Mexico City, Mexico, Raul was the son of Hipolito Leal and Eloisa Cardenas. He married his beloved wife, Ana Maria Leal, and together they eventually settled in Chicago, Illinois, where Raul made his home for more than 30 years.

Throughout his life, Raul held various positions before retiring from Edsal Manufacturing, where he worked as a lead man. He lived a simple life and found his greatest joy in being at home, spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed watching sports and had a lifelong appreciation for cars of all kinds, from antique classics to newer models.

Raul will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Ana Maria; his five children, Norma, Israel, Veronica, Karina, and Darlene; six grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

A Mass in honor of Raul’s life will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. at St. Bede–St. Denis Church, 8200 S. Kostner Ave., Chicago, Illinois. Interment will be private.

Raul will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
