Gay, Leonard M. (15 SEP 1929 - 23 MAY 2014)
Leonard M. Gay, age 84, of Stanley, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 23,
2014 at his home.
He was born on September 15, 1929 in Milwaukee, the son of the late Edward and
Ann (Rembleski) Gay. The family moved just west of Gilman when he was a young
boy. He grew up in Gilman attending area schools.
Leonard joined the Army to fight in the Korean Conflict where he was severely
injured. After that, he worked in Ely, Minn., as a lumberjack, worked
construction for a time in Milwaukee and was a bridge builder in Wisconsin
before moving back to help run the family farm. Leonard sold the farm and moved
to Stanley in 1991. He loved going to auctions and buying "treasures." Leonard
also was an avid outdoorsman, but most of all loved deer hunting.
He is survived by his brothers, Raymond of Cornell, Richard (Ann) of Sun City
West, Ariz., Robert (Pamela) of Chippewa Falls and William of Coon Rapids,
Minn.; one sister, Kathleen (Donald) Winn of Brooklyn Center, Minn.; and many
nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents,
and brother, Walter.
Funeral services will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 28 at the Plombon
Funeral Home in Stanley, Father Madanu Sleeva Raja officiating. Burial will
follow at the Oakland Cemetery with military rites performed by the Gilman
American Legion. Memorials are appreciated to the VFW in Leonard's name.
