It is with heavy hearts that the family of Leonard B. Urzada announce his passing. Leonard was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on January 12, 1936 and passed away peacefully on November 15, 2008 in Vulcan surrounded by his loving family members.
Leonard married Irene Korby on July 16, 1958 and shortly thereafter moved his new wife and family west to Calgary where he was eventually employed with Canada Malting for 42 years until his retirement in 1999. Len and Irene moved into a retirement community in Vulcan where they met and were reunited with friends new and old. In his spare time Len enjoyed camping, fishing and pretty much every other outdoor activity as long as it included good friends and family. One of Len’s many passions included the Canadian Legion where he was a long time member both in Calgary and Vulcan.
Leonard is survived by his wife Irene, daughters Joanne Wiebe and Christina Martin, sons Edward (Margaret) and Stephen (Brenda), along with eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild.
