Our deepest sympathy and prayers to Paula, Todd, Shannon, Ava, Ben, Amy, Matt, and Drew.
We have many happy memories of Bob especially during our visits to Cape Cod! So many good times to remember and cherish.

Our sincere condolences to the entire Leckinger Family. Bob was one of our closest friends and was in our wedding on August 1, 1970 in Northern Kentucky. We spent a lot of time together with Neal Kinney enjoying each others company and having more than a few beers in Cincinnati. My career was in international sales and I would try to arrange flights through Boston so we could see each other. We have found memories of Bob & Paula’s wedding as well as trips to the Cape. All of us that knew Bob will miss him very much.
Sincerely, Charley & Dorothy
Our deepest sympathy to the entire Leckinger Family. We have fond memories of the many times we were together including Bob & Paula’s wedding and the times we spent in the Cape. Bob was in our wedding on August 1, 1970. When Bob lived in Cincinnati we would get together with Neal and Susan Kinney and try to solve all the world’s problems over many beers! Bob will be terribly missed by all his friends. Again, our most sincere sympathy.
Sincerely, Charley & Dorothy Goettsch
Paula and family – as I did not personally know your husband and father, it is with sadness that he has passed away. Always and hug and a smile to you all.
