While I was not a student in Mr. Leech's class at Kirkwood High, others do remember him and my attention was called to his obituary courtesy of my pal, Pat Hoag, so that I could share. He certainly led a life devoted to mathematics to the advantage of many I'm sure.
Here is the link to his recent obituary:
Moisio, Peter Anton
62, of St. Louis passed away peacefully on July 7, 2024, with St. Louis Arc Rainbow Village staff by his side.
Peter started his 21 years of growth and independence in the St. Louis area when he moved from Tucson, Arizona, where he lived with his brother Rick and his wife Mary, to live with his sister Pat and her late husband, Stanley. Stan and Pat encouraged Pete in his independence, creativity, volunteerism, and confidence. Stan used his real estate expertise to help Peter find an apartment that was safe and perfect location-wise to Peter's friends as well as his many activities. When living in his apartment, he was supported by Midwest Easter Seals staff. Additionally, Peter learned skills taught by Bill, Cathy, Carol, and Piper. When he moved to the St. Louis Arc Rainbow Village (Promise Community) campus, he evolved further with help from Craig, MaryAnne, Ed, Seth, Kristie, Eli, Amber, and countless others.
