Leo Berghoff

Leo Berghoff died peacefully at home surrounded by his family on January 18th, 2015. He was born July 28th, 1935, son of Theodore and Lorena Georger Berghoff. Leo served in the United States Army from 1958-1960. Leo and Hilda Wubker were married July 23rd, 1960 at St John's Catholic Church in Leopold, MO. Leo was a member of St Augustine Church in Kelso and a third degree member of St Joseph Knights of Columbus 6420. He worked hard all of his life and retired from Boatmen's Bank. Leo enjoyed tinkering on the family farm with his tractor, gardening, and being with his family. He will be greatly missed, being warmly remembered for his smile, even on bad days, and for his patience, kindness, faith in God and perseverance to the end. It gives us comfort to know his pain is over and he is at peace. He is survived by his wife, Hilda, 3 daughters; Carolyn (Greg) Hency and their children Brian (Rachael) Hency, Valerie (Kelly) Snell and Stephanie, Joyce (Cecil) Luten and their sons Ben and Andy, Carla (Stacey) Glaus and their daughter Alecia, also 5 sons; Daniel and daughter Katie, John (Susan) and daughters Alison and Megan, Linus, James (Tina) and their children Aaron, Andrew and Courtney; and Eric. He was Great-Grandpa to McKenzie, Breanna and Arabella. He is also survived by his sister Betty Calhoun. Leo was preceded in death by his parents and a grandson, Tyler Glaus.
