The family of Arthur Leatherman, 88, has invited the PGR to participate in honoring his life and service to his country. It will be a privilege to do so.
Arthur served in the US Marine Corp. from Oct 4, 1948 to Oct. 5, 1952. He served in Korea and was honorably discharged with the rank of Staff SGT.
Sadly Arthur passed onto the next life on October 5, 2017 of Lewy body which is a form of Alzheimer's disease.
Arthur worked very hard to provide for his family. He was a lifelong bicycle rider, getting in at least 100 miles every week. He also enjoyed celebrating the Marine Corp. birthday every year.
He is survived by his wife Peggy to whom he was married for 66 years. They have 5 children, Kris, Karen, Craig, Randy and Carol. They have 7 grand kids and 3 great grand kids.
