Leonard R. Huskey , 88, of Boise and Meridian, passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2008 at his home. Leonard was born on March 28, 1919 in Blue Eye, Mo. a son of Lawson and Savannah Witherspoon Huskey . He graduated from Meridian High School in 1936. Leonard has farmed the local area for most of his life. He bought a farm in 1946 for his parents and it is still being farmed today. Leonard has been the main stay of his family and was generous and loving; ready to help family members, friends, and neighbors. He had a set of values and principles that he never wavered from; he was a man of integrity who settled contracts with a hand shake. If you knew him long enough to get passed his crusty exterior, you would find a generous heart, and dry wit. Leonard loved classic cars, including his 1951 Ford Victoria, his land, and his dog "Cory". The family would like to give a special thank you to At Home Care and Horizon Hospice for their compassionate care of Leonard and his family. Leonard is survived by one sister, Leona Huskey of Boise; several nieces and nephews, and numerous loving friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Harold, and Floyd, three sisters, Reta, Beula, and Erma . A visitation will be from 4-6 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 21, 2008 at Chapel of the Chimes. A funeral service will be at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2008 also at Chapel of the Chimes. Interment will follow at Meridian Cemetery.
