Our loving father, grandpa, brother and friend passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family from Giant Cell Arteritis on December 4, 2013.

He worked at Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company for 38 years.
In 1954, he assisted in starting the Cub Scout Program in Springville. He had many church callings. Leland was known for his beautiful flower and vegetable gardens that he generously shared with his family and friends. Everyone loved his cantaloupes. He loved working in his yard and farming.
He enjoyed pitching for his church and city league Fast Pitch Softball teams. He loved camping, hunting and most of all fishing.
