Obituary for LEADER


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday June 01, 2011

WILLIAM J. Beloved husband and father, went with God on Thursday, May 26, 2011, leaving behind his family: wife Anne, two daughters DeeDee Cianflone and Mary Romero, and son-in-law Julio Romero, as well as father Robert Leader, brothers Henry Leader, Tom Leader, Edward Leader, and sister Cathy Piombino. A brilliant engineer holding patents for his work with filtration systems and a thoughtful poet with a mind for historical symbolism, Bill challenged and embraced all who encountered him. Though he will be greatly missed, we take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace with a freedom he knew little of in life. Join his family and friends during calling hours on Thursday, June 2, 2011 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at French, Westside location, 9300 Golf Course Rd NW, and his funeral service Friday, June 3, 2011, 10:00 a.m., at UNM's Aquinas Newman Center, 1815 Las Lomas Rd NE. "Bill, we know you fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith, and now have your crown." Please visit our online guestbook for Bill at RememberTheirStory.com FRENCH 9300 Golf Course Rd.
