Obituary Notice
Ronald (Ron) Frederick Leach, 88, of Three Rivers, went to his heavenly home on 11th day of February 2026.
Ron was born September 17, 1937 in Saginaw, the son of Kenneth and Louise (Behm) Leach, and graduated from Saginaw High School with the Class of 1955. He attended Ferris Institute, Big Rapids, where he received his Pharmacist Degree in 1962.
On August 18, 1962 he married Cindy Kay Brown in Bangor. Together they had a son, Trenton (Trent) Cregg.
On January 28, 1976 he married Charlene (Fullriede-Cox) in Constantine. He lovingly adopted her sons Kristopher and Jason. Charlene lovingly accepted his son, Trent, as her family. They raised their children in Constantine.
Ron began his career at McDonald’s Pharmacy in South Haven before purchasing Lakes Drug Store, Constantine in 1965. In 1970 the store was severely damaged by fire. After repairs to the store it reopened as Ron’s Pharmacy, Inc. Ron operated the store until 1987 when he sold it and went to work at Abbott Laboratory, Sturgis, for 9 years.
His love of music was evident as he was director of the choir at his church, Messiah Lutheran, Constantine. He also was director of the SPEBSQSA (Barbershop Chorus), St. Joseph County. He was an active member of the Constantine Rotary Club. Ron and Charlene enjoyed camping adventures and working in their gardens. Ron golfed for years before his health declined.
