LEONARD E. GEE
Leonard E. Gee was born on June 14, 1928 in Harrisonville, MO. He was the son of George L. Gee and Eunice G. Willing. He was a lifelong resident of the KCMO area, graduating from Northeast High School in 1946. He served honorably in the US Navy from 1946 to 1948 as a Seabee on Guam. He married Mary Ann Rodak of KCMO in 1950, a marriage which lasted 58 years. Also, in 1950 he became a police officer on the KCMO Police Department, retiring as a sergeant in 1980 after 30 years of dedicated service. He then spent 13 years as a security supervisor at the KCMO City Hall. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge #438 in Smithville, MO. He passed away on October 17, 2015 at the age of 87. He is survived by his adult children Thomas Gee (Anita), Timothy Gee (Diana) and Nancy Steffes (Dennis), 8 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He was a good and brave man who faithfully served his family, his community and his country. His services will be held Friday Oct. 23, 2015 at Terrace Park Funeral Home and Cemetery, 801 NW 108th St., KCMO. Visitation at 10:00 am and service to follow at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Kansas City MO Police Care Team, 1125 Locust, KCMO 64106.
Our dad will be greatly missed by all of us. He was a great father and provider. He was caring but strong and well principled. He was a fair man and a good leader of men. He loved our mother faithfully for their 58 years of marriage, which only ended upon her death. He loved to fish and hunt and play cards. He taught his sons how to be good men, husbands and fathers by his example and his daughter how she should be treated by men. Which in turn, led her to find an excellent, caring man who became our brother-in-law. We were blessed with great parents who were self-reliant, hardworking and moral people who set before us good examples, thus leading us to careers in teaching and law enforcement. Our family and our community have been diminished by this loss, but heaven has gained a worthy soul. We will love and remember you for the rest of our lives.
