| Ramsperger, Father Leo August |
Passed away peacefully, at Humber River Hospital, Toronto, on Friday August 2, 2024, at the age of 100. Beloved brother to Paul Ramsperger and his wife, Louise, and uncle to many nephews and nieces. Predeceased by his siblings Anne, Charlotte, Cecilia, John, Arthur, Theresa, Marie, Pauline, Patricia, Catherine, and Rita (Betty). Father Leo was well known for his deep faith and dedication to the Catholic Church - an ordained priest for 70 years. He genuinely cared for all humanity, was very generous, and lived a life of service to the Lord. After his official retirement, he continued in his role as a priest, assisting at St. Ignatius Martyr Parish in Maynooth, and with the celebration of daily Mass in a chapel in his country home, welcoming friends and encouraging them in their journey of faith. He enjoyed gardening, spending time outdoors, and enjoying the birds. Upon his transition to St. Bernard’s Retirement Residence, he continued to offer Mass, daily, from an altar in his room. A “servant of the Lord,” a mentor, a brother, a friend, he was always an inspiration and an example of deep faith. He will be greatly missed by many.
