Sitting inside his nice, big house the other day, Spencer Tillman thought about the nice, big houses his daughters have been able to buy as young adults. He thought, too, about how he and his wife have been able to help the girls get to this point in their lives without the debt of college and the burden many twentysomethings face.
Then, Tillman thought of Rich Leitka.
“I would not have any of that,” Tillman said, “without him.”
A little over two weeks ago, Richmond Lewis Leitka died at the age of 75. He was a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
