KARL RAYMOND LEITENBERG ~ Class of 1972
August 9, 1952 - August 12, 2009



Karl was received into the loving hands of God on August 12, 2009. He was a faithful member of Apostolic Christian Church.

Karl was born in Richland and attended school there, graduating in 1972 from Columbia High. He was an avid sportsman who enjoyed and excelled in track. He also was an accomplished singer in the school choir who also recorded an exceptional album.

Karl worked and lived in Richland and touched the lives of so many people. His humor and strength brought the best out of anyone he met. Karl was an inspiration to all who knew the difficulties he endured the last few years of his life. He never gave up in his belief in God and showed his remarkable character till the end. His humor and compassion was such a gift and he will be surely missed.

He was preceded in death by his father Walter Raymond, mother Jean Grace and his Uncle Bill.

He leaves behind his sisters Debbie ('68) (nephews Chris and Mellisa, and Nick and Holly), Linda (Darr and Rachel) Brothers, David ('74) and Jeff and a whole community who truly loved him. The family would like to mention his close friend Earl Echols and caretaker Jolene Schmeider.
