JosephLeingang
Joseph T. Leingang, 80, Mandan, died April 3, 2006, at Medcenter One, Bismarck. Mass of Christian burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, April 6, at Christ the King Catholic Church, Mandan, with the Rev. James Shea as celebrant. Burial will be at North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, south of Mandan, with full military honors provided by the VFW Post No. 707 and the American Legion Post No. 40.
Visitation will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 5, at Weigel Funeral Home, Mandan, where a parish vigil will be held at 7 p.m. Visitation will continue one hour before the service at the church on Thursday.
Joseph T. Leingang was born April 18, 1925, in Morton County, the son of John and Amelia (Koch) Leingang. He married Ida Eckroth in 1947; she died in 1960. On Feb. 6, 1961, he married Betty Wolf Hoffman at Christ the King Catholic Church, Mandan.
Being outdoors and fishing with his sons was a highpoint for Joseph, whether fish were caught or not. He treasured any time that he could spend with his family outside. Joseph loved being out in his yard and watching the birds, especially the martins. He even built them a birdhouse, which he had in his yard. One of Joseph's many talents was carpentry. It was his livelihood as well as his hobby, which included making toys and wooden trains with intricate detail and designs. His employment history started with Standard Oil in 1954, where he was involved in the construction of the refinery, which is now known as the Tesoro Refinery. He has been retired for 20 years.
Joseph was proud to be a veteran of the U.S. Army, in which he served in the Pacific, being awarded the Purple Heart. He had previously spent some time with one of his granddaughters, who was assembling a history project - Joe shared with her some memories of his service in the military.
The results are, along with many other history projects, at the North Dakota Heritage Center.
Joseph enjoyed the coffee breaks at work, where his sense of humor was evident, as well as the source of some interesting stories. He took pleasure in fellowship and bingo at the Eagles Club.
Joseph will be missed and remembered by his loving family: his wife, Betty; four sons and three daughters-in-law, Dennis (Carla), Bismarck, Dale, Pelican Rapids, Minn., Duane (Jane), Mandan, and David (Susan) Mandan; seven grandchildren, Kelby Jacobson, Kelsey Leingang, Heather Leingang, Erin Leingang, Nick Leingang, Jennifer Van Iterson and David Leingang; one great-grandchild, Jordan Van Iterson; and two sisters, Frances Hogarth and Mary Frolich, both of Bismarck.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Ida; his parents; two daughters, Debbie and Delora; four brothers, Adam, Nick, John and George; and two sisters, Amelia Yantzer and Barbara Steinert.
