George Leveille

George Leveille, age 73, lifetime resident of Elmhurst, Vietnam Army Veteran in the 1st Air Cav; retired Elmhurst Fireman; former owner LaVell Electric; beloved husband of Catherine “Cathy”, nee McJohn; loving father of Denise (Scott) Turner, Mary Kay McCann and George “Geo” (Jen) Leveille; proud grandfather of Aurora, Callie and Paxtyn Turner, Morgan and Katie McCann; cherished great-grandfather of Lennox Turner; dear brother of Margaret Ann (Mick) Gley, James (Diane) Leveille, Marilyn (Dominick) DiBella, Forrest (Cindy) Leveille and the late Nancy (the late Mike) Cahill, the late Barbara (Joseph) Slama and the late Michael (Karen) Leveille; cherished son of the late George and the late Margaret; fond uncle of many nieces and nephews. George loved to spend time in the outdoors – whether it was fishing in Canada, Wisconsin or Florida or in his own backyard caring for the Koi pond and garden railroad. He maintained his support of the Packers and the White Sox even though he found himself in a family full of Bears and Cubs fans. After retirement, he took care of others through his volunteer ministry at Meals on Wheels. George was a loving and beloved man whose devotion to friends and family will be missed. Funeral Services are Private. Memorial contributions in George’s memory may be made to Meals on Wheels America, 1550 Crystal Drive, Suite 1004, Arlington, VA 22202.
