He lived a long and productive life for 93 years traveling far from his boyhood home in Warren Rhode Island. He will soon return to the home of his youth. In memory of Veteran John Leahy these words will accompany you on your final journey home:

“A Hero Had to Do – What A Hero Had To Do”
“You fought for your family and your country, nation, and the people of it. You had to fight so you had to go. First at home, then war, and now your home where the Lord has a place for you that you can call your own. You told the Lord of your stories and how much you had to fight. Now, the Lord who knows you best said you can stop the fight and rest with me”
