Albert L. Leeman

Albert L. Leeman died unexpectedly March 1, 2004, in Roseville, California.

He was the eldest son of 10 children of Bill and Mae Leeman. Born Dec. 7, 1920 in Rockford, Iowa, and raised in Osage, Iowa.

Upon graduation from Osage High School he enlisted in the Army Air Corps., ultimately serving for 31 years in the U.S. Air Force -- distinguishing himself during World War II while stationed in the Aleutian Islands.

Among his many assignments was a tour of duty in Vietnam in 1964-65. He attained the rank of Chief Master Sergeant and retired from the Air Force as First Sergeant of the 55th Weather Squadron, McClellan Air Force Base, Sacramento, California, in 1971.

Devoted to his family, he entertained them with songs, jokes and limericks, Sunday drives to nowhere and cross-country trips with 10 children in a station wagon. He touched everyone who knew him with humorous stories of his life's experiences.

During the last 38 years he resided in Sacramento, Lake of the Pines, Roseville and Rocklin, California.
