William Walter Leahy

William graduated from Detroit Catholic Central High School in 1947. He then attended the University of Detroit where he received a degree in chemistry in 1951. He had a long and successful career in the automotive industry.

On August 23, 1958, William married M. Kathleen Leahy, and together they raised five children. He was a devoted and loving father and grandfather who shared his love for the outdoors; camping, hunting and fishing. His Sunday breakfasts and Thanksgiving turkey were a tradition for the whole extended family.

William was preceded in death by his wife, M. Kathleen Leahy(Mullin), his parents, Walter and Helen(Degen)Leahy, Lawrence “Pa” Theisen and his brother, David Leahy. He will be lovingly remembered by his children, Anne Prada, John (Julie) Leahy, Elizabeth Leahy, Michael (Sandra) Leahy, and Mary K. Buzolits; and ten grandchildren.

A private celebration of his life and burial will be held at a future date at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church and Cemetery in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
