Duxbury, Leland E. (7 January 1919 - 5 January 2016)

Leland E. Duxbury, 96, of Humbird died Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2016, at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire.

Leland was born Jan. 7, 1919, to Ramond and Wilhelmina (Janke) Duxbury. He married Ruth M. Davis on Christmas in 1948 in Merrillan. He was a farmer by trade and loved gardening vegetables and fruits. He was a “jack of all trades” and enjoyed fishing, hunting, custom lumbering and enjoyed being a dad and grandfather. Leland was a great friend and was always inviting people in the house for a cup of coffee. He will be dearly missed.

Leland is survived by his son, William (Marjorie) Sr. of Black River Falls; grandchildren: William Jr. of Humbird, Lori Sova of Menasha and Lyn Tye of Menasha; and great-grandchildren: Courtney and Trevor Sova and Tyrese and Tyra Tye.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife Ruth March 20, 1991; and his brother Carrol Duxbury.

Services will take place at a later date.
