Obituary of Clyde T. Leach

Enola, PA - Clyde T. Leach, 72, passed on April 17, 2021. He was born to Leon F. Leach and Doris (Martin) Leach on July 23, 1948 in Bangor, Maine. Clyde will forever be remembered for putting his family first and being a devoted friend. A jack-of-all-trades, Clyde specialized in carpentry and masonry work. He learned from a very young age, by working with his father, in building furniture and other projects in developing these skills. He had a very inquisitive mind. If something peaked his interest he would do what it took by researching it and learning what he could to create it. This also included his interest in new technology. He had to keep up with the new age items. His other interests were photography, ancestry research, 50’s and 60’s music, old western movies and tv shows, and talking about politics. He looked forward to and enjoyed his meetings with “the guys” on Wednesday mornings for coffee. Most of all he enjoyed his lunches out with his loving wife, Donna.

Clyde was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Shirley Leach. He is survived by his wife, Donna Leach of Pennsylvania, his son Troy DeRoche and his wife Stephanie, sister Doreen Leach, grandchildren Nichole Mullins and Jessica DeRoche, and great grandchildren Grayson Mullins and Sedona Otazo.
