He was born November 8, 1945, in Cleveland, OH to the late Fred and Willa (Tenney) Leigh. He worked for over 40 years at Ford Motor Co. in Sandusky, where he was friends with all his co-workers.

He was a devout Christian and attended the Foundation Church in Norwalk, and since retirement attended Thursday’s ROMEO Club (retired old men eating out). He was a lifetime devotee of baseball, especially with the Cleveland Indians (Guardians).
He is survived by his children, Lori (John) Flannery of Milan, Suzanne “Suzi” Leigh of Milan, and J. Scott (Heddy) Leigh of Elkhart, IN; and their mom, Jennifer; companion of 15 years, Virginia “Ginnie” Robson of Greenwich; nine grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and one on the way; nieces and nephews.
