Mr. Stephen E. Leach, age 65, of New Castle, DE, passed away on Monday, April 18, 2011, at Christiana Hospital after a long battle with Kennedy's Disease.

He was preceded in death by his father, Benjamin W. Leach, and brother, William D. Leach. He is survived by his mother, Helen Mialik Leach of New Castle; and his brother, John, his wife, Carole, and their children, David, Matthew, and Monica.
