IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Lawrence G.
Leese
August 8, 1941 – January 17, 2019
Larry lived in Collingswood for 22 years and was a resident of Avista Healthcare in Cherry Hill at the time of his passing.
Born in Darby, PA, Larry grew up in Southwest Philadelphia and Mt. Airy. A graduate of La Salle College High School and La Salle College, he served in the Army Reserve for six years. He began his long banking career at Provident National, later working in bank-related sales. Until his retirement in 2007, he owned and operated Mid-Atlantic Collections.
He is survived by his wife, Brenda (nee Duggins) and sons, Killian and Kyle (Joanne) and two grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Ken (Mary) and Mike (Terry); sisters, Sue Morano (Bill) and Roe Overcash (Jay); his mother-in-law, Evelyn Duggins; brother-in-law, Joe Duggins as well as many nieces and nephews.
Larry will be remembered as a distance runner who thrived on the challenge of his next race. He loved music, gardening, films, Big Five games at the Palestra and performing in community theater at Haddonfield Plays and Players and the Village Playbox among others. Larry enjoyed his days on Long Beach Island and liked to cook almost as much as he savored good food. Most of all, he will be remembered for his enjoyment of conversation and the company of family and friends.
