Obituary for Leonard George Bruckhauser
Leonard George Bruckhauser
Beloved husband of 32 years to Genny (nee Burke). Proud and devoted dad of Lauren Bruckhauser and Megan Bruckhauser. Loving son of the late Hubert and Marie Bruckhauser. Dear brother of Larry (Theresa) Bruckhauser. Cherished uncle to Karla (Jacob) Persky, and great-uncle of Annika and Abby. Adored cousin and “Uncle Len” to many. Best buddy of Bruckie and Grand Paw to Harper “The Harp”.
He was born August 1, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois. Leonard attended Our Lady of Grace School and graduated from St. Patrick’s High School in 1960. He was very proud to have worked full-time while taking night classes for several years to earn his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Elmhurst College in 1979. He enjoyed many outdoor adventures: snow skiing, horseback riding, and camping with his family. Leonard loved spending summers at Lake Maxincuckee and boating with his family and friends. He was a great cook and baker, and his girls have very fond memories of his famous pancake breakfasts. Above all else, Leonard loved his wife, Genny, and was very proud of his two daughters, Lauren and Megan.
