  LEBANON Arthur W. Leffler, 82, passed away on Saturday, January 29, 2011, in 
  his home surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of Elsie M. Kramer 
  Leffler, who died on May 28th 2010. Born in Pine Grove, on May 26, 1928, he was 
  the son of the late William and Carrie (Tobias) Leffler. His parents died when 
  he and his sister were very young so he spent most of his childhood in the 
  Pottsville Orphanage Home. Because of his love of animals, in his teen years, 
  he spent much of his free time helping the local veterinary in Pottsville. 
  After graduating from Pottsville High School, he enlisted in the United States 
  Army and married his wife of 56 years. They had many wonderful adventures in 
  several different countries while he served our country. He retired from the 
  Army after 20 years. He then worked as a boiler inspector at Cleaver Brooks 
  retiring in 1985. He was a member of the Kochenderfer's United Methodist 
  Church. Arthur enjoyed gardening, watching the NASCAR races, running his 
  electric trains and especially helping Elsie babysit his grandchildren when 
  they were growing up. Practically every day in the Spring, Summer and Fall you 
  would find him planting and tending their beautiful flower gardens. He and 
  Elsie loved visiting the area nurseries trying to find unique plants to add to 
  their flower beds. He also enjoyed collecting new ceramic animals for his 
  flower gardens. He is survived by his daughters, Karen F.L. wife of Dennis 
  Williams and Karla M. wife of Michael Nicholas; sister, Naomi McHenry; 
  grandchildren, Jenna Grimes, Lindsay Nicholas, Daniel Nicholas, Alec Williams; 
  and his beagle, Bart, all of Lebanon. In addition to his wife, he was preceded 
  in death by his half brother, Irvin Leffler and half sisters, Alice Love, Mary 
  Schraeder Minnie Becker and Pearle Seashotz. Funeral services will be held on 
  Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at the Kreamer & Lum Funeral Home & Crematory, Rt. 72 &
