Furlong, PA, Community Mourns the Loss of David T. Leh
Furlong, PA, is remembering an extraordinary man, David T. Leh, who sadly passed away on August 22, 2025, just days before what would have been his 84th birthday. He leaves behind a loving family and a community that will sorely miss his vibrant spirit.
A Loving Family Man
David was the cherished husband of Nancy M. (Livengood) Leh for an incredible 37 years. Together, they built a life filled with warmth and love. David was born on September 1, 1941, in Pottstown, PA, where he lived as one of two sons born to the late R. Elwood (Woody) and Mildred Thomas Leh. His family was his pride and joy, and he is survived by his brother, Dennis Leh, along with his wife Columbia and their family, who will keep his memory alive.
A Lifetime of Achievements
David was no stranger to hard work and dedication. He graduated from the University of Maryland and Ursinus College, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Mathematics. For over 40 years, he made a significant impact in the field of computer networking, holding various managerial positions with several large firms. His professional journey showcased his commitment to excellence and innovation.
Passion Beyond Work
Well-rounded in life, David developed a keen interest in snowmobiling during his time in upstate New York. He not only enjoyed maintaining his snowmobiles but loved riding them, relishing every minute spent in the snowy wilderness. His adventurous spirit didn’t stop there; David was also an avid golfer. He participated in numerous leagues and had a knack for organizing unforgettable golf trips to exciting locations like New York, West Virginia, and Myrtle Beach.
Grandfather and More
David was a proud grandfather to ten grandkids: Elizabeth, David, Maggie, Taylor (who recently married Zachary), Joshua, Zachary, Michael, Ashlynn, Gavin (with his wife Angela), and Tiana. He was eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first great-grandson, a child from Taylor and Zachary, which was a testament to the loving legacy he built.
Final Goodbyes
A Lasting Tribute
David’s loving family has suggested that in lieu of flowers, anyone wishing to honor his memory may consider making memorial contributions in David’s name to the Bucks County SPCA. Donations can be sent to PO Box 277 in Lahaska, PA. This gesture would surely bring a smile to David’s face, reflecting the compassion he held for animals and helping those in need.
As the community gathers to remember David T. Leh, stories of his kindness, humor, and love will continue to be shared, shining light on a well-lived life. He may be gone, but his legacy will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
