My condolences and Prayers to the Leak family,even though we lived in the same neighborhood I met James at our mutual friend Glen Dines house working on cars and the fact that we both were Veterans we clicked and a friendship was born that I will always remember. RIP my friend and fellow Veterans and also fellow Libra. DK25
I worked for and with James for many years as we traveled the Duke Energy service area building Substations. James was always good to me and others on the crew. Eager to help us learn tasks he had more experience at and was just a good friend. My heart goes out to the family during the difficult time as James was called home too soon. I find comfort in knowing that for the believer that to be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord. I hope the family finds comfort in knowing my family shares your grief. James will be greatly missed. David Bowman
