IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Leverton
Apr 22, 1936 — Jun 3, 2017
Obituary
Gary Lee Leverton, 81, Lake Mills, entered eternal rest with his family by his side Saturday, June 3, 2017, at his home.
He was born on April 22, 1936 at Warren, Illinois, the son of the late Clinton and Iva (Bausman) Leverton.
Gary married Beth Buckles of Madison on September 3, 1960 in Madison.
He was a graduate of Warren High School, class of 1954. Later he graduated from UW-Madison with a Mechanical Engineering Degree (BSME).
Gary served in the U.S. Airforce from 1956-1959.
He was a district manager for Owen-Corning in sales from 1963-1972.
Gary moved to Lake Mills in 1972 from Louisville, Kentucky.
He worked at Fiber Resin in Johnson Creek and later started Master Mold in Johnson Creek with his partner Jerry Snider.
Gary loved his family and was an inspiration to so many.
He enjoyed the Badgers and the Bears and he got to witness the Cubs win the World Series.
Gary golfed and owned race horses, in his earlier years he loved hunting and fishing.
He loved to play cards, both euchre and poker. It's rumored that he may have invented three toed Pete.
The amount of lives that he touched is unknowable, but he made this world just a little better for everyone he met.
If you ever had the privilege of meeting Gary, then you know God blessed him with the ability to make you laugh with one of his famous sayings or humorous anecdotes. He was always "wonderful" and ready to have a "flu shot" with you.
Survivors include his wife Beth; son, Lee James (Lori) Leverton of Cambridge; daughter, Lori Beth (Tim) Luetzow of Ixonia; 5 grandchildren, Bill (Hannah) Luetzow, Rachel (Luke) Ptasienski, Gary Lee Leverton II, Grant Leroy and Gray Lake Leverton; 3 great grandchildren; sister, Virginia Breed of Stockton, IL; other relatives and friends.
Also preceding him in death were 4 siblings.
A Private Family Memorial service will be held with a Celebration of Life to be announced at a later date.
If desired, memorials may be made to Rainbow Hospice Care, Inc. of Jefferson or to the donor's choice.
As Gary would say "keep your powder dry" and this time the Lord responded "It's your final final".
