Leo A. Purcell was born on Oct. 23, 1933, in Dublin, Ireland.

Leo served in the U.S. Navy, which he fondly referred to as “The
President’s Yacht Club.” He was a successful businessman, a member
of Smoki, a life member of the Sharlot Hall Museum, and a committed
member of the Arizona Democrats.

Leo was dedicated to his family. He was greatly loved and will be
greatly missed. He is survived by his wife, four children and seven
grandchildren.

Gifts, in lieu of flowers, may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s
Hospital.
