Obituary of Leonard A. Luebking

Leonard A. Luebking of Fort Myers, Florida, formerly of Fox Lake, Illinois, passed away on January 6 surrounded by family. Leonard was born on June 18, 1933 in Bensenville, Illinois and was a gifted athlete and musician at Bensenville Community High School. Following his graduation he enlisted in the US Army and was a proud veteran of the Korean War. Upon his return he married his sweetheart, “Midge,” and together they shared over 60 years of happiness. In 1993 Len retired from a national liquor distributor, having realized an award-winning career in sales. In his retirement years he pursued his passion for golf. His dedication to the game rewarded him with a “hole-in-one.” In addition to golf he loved to tinker in construction. Len was a member of the VFW and active in his church in the Knights of Columbus. Family meant everything to him. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His laughter, smile and crazy joke-telling ability will be missed by all whose hearts he touched.
