ObituaryFeb 26, 2015  OBITUARY: Richard P. Leahy, 83, of Arcadia, Florida passed away February 26, 2015. Richard was born July 17, 1931 in Enosburg Falls, VT, to the late; Reuben and Grace Leahy. He served our country in the US Navy. Richard was a quiet, witty, gentle man, and a gentlemen. He loved his family and had spent the last 23 years enjoying a more relaxed life in Florida with his wonderful wife of 60 years, Helen.

Before retirement Richard and Helen spent their lives working hard and planning for one of their greatest accomplishments, building their dream home, a beautiful log home on the mountains in NH. They worked side by side many long nights and week-ends building their dream home. It didn t happen overnight but they succeeded and what a home it was. There were many gatherings there (including a few weddings) with family and friends.
