ObituaryNov 6, 2012  OBITUARY: WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Richard "Dick" C. Leach, Jr., 69, of West Palm Beach, died on Oct. 22, 2012, following a brief battle with cancer. He was the son of the late Richard C. Leach Sr. and Jean (Hubbard) Leach.

A nearly lifelong resident of New Hampshire, Mr. Leach was born in Nashua on June 29, 1943, and was raised nearby in the small town of Litchfield. A former resident of Manchester and Hooksett, Mr. Leach retired to Florida nearly nine years ago.

An avid car racing fan and a one-time racer, Mr. Leach translated his love of cars into a career in the automotive services industry, where he managed auto body shops for car dealerships all over the state, including Sexton Motors, MacMulkin Chevrolet, Banks Chevrolet, Nault's Ford and then AutoFair.

The devoted grandfather was also a serious fisherman, spending most of his free time fishing for largemouth bass in his favorite lake — Lake Winnisquam. And, when he wasn't fishing, or watching auto racing, he was rooting for Boston sports teams, especially the Red Sox.

In addition to his longtime companion, Denise Favreau, Mr. Leach is survived by two daughters, Gail Leach Carvelli of Rumford, R.I., and Sarah Favreau of Muenster, Texas; two sisters, Margaret Rodonis of Litchfield, N.H., and Susan Drouin of Sherwood, Ore; a brother, James Leach of Rockland, Maine; two grandchildren, Jacob and Julia Carvelli of Rumford, R.I., and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

A memorial service will be held in New Hampshire in the summer of 2013.
