George K. Leitch, November 20, 2010, South Port Square, Port Charlotte, Florida.  Born in 1913, George grew up in the Dormont area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  He was a 1935 graduate of Muskingum, where he met the love of his life, Grace Ranson ’36 Leitch, whom he married April 11, 1941.  She died in 2008 shortly before their 67th anniversary. After graduation, George began his employment at the Union National Bank of Pittsburgh (UNB), which was the start of a 45-year banking career there.  He e retired in 1980 as vice president, trust administration. George’s banking career was interrupted by World War II and in 1943 George enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a Reserve Officer.  His entire tour of duty was served on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Franklin (CP13) where Lieutenant Leitch moved from Gunnery Officer to Personnel Officer, then Aide to the Executive Officer and Captain, then Ship Secretary, and Aide to the Commanding Officer.  George loved to tell stories of his service on the Franklin, which became the “worst damaged ship in history to be able to return to port” when, on a single day in its last battle, the crew of 3,400 in the morning had only 704 survivors by nightfall.  After the war, George returned to UNB in Pittsburgh where he and Grace raised their three children in Bethel Park and Mt. Lebanon. George and Grace both remained closely associated with Muskingum through the rest of their lives.  George served as national president of the Alumni Association and on the Board of Trustees.  He was active with the Alban alumni and participated in the development of Fraternity Circle.  For over 50 years the Leitches rarely missed a homecoming or reunion weekend, and participated in countless other projects at Muskingum.  When delivering the keynote speech at a Heritage Day Dinner in 1993, George noted that his Uncle Jim first attended Muskingum in 1897,  Grace’s father and uncle in 1904, and by 1993 he and Grace could name over 75 members of their extended families who were Muskingum graduates. George was also a board member of the Coalition for Christian Outreach and served on their executive and development committees.   Through his banking career, he introduced many individuals and companies to the work of the Coalition, helping to form cooperative relationships and opportunities for fund raising to benefit the  Coalition’s mission. George was also a lifelong supporter of the United Presbyterian Church.  At the Mt. Lebanon U.P. Church he served as elder, trustee and church treasurer.  He was a member of the Council on Theological Education for the U.P. Church.  Due to Grace’s experiences as a missionary kid in India, the Leitches were ardent supporters of mission work worldwide.  They were proud of their involvement in the formation of a couple’s Sunday School group that began with 13 couples and over the next 35 years grew to over 120 couples who generated over $650,000 in mission giving.   After retiring to Punta Gorda Isles, Florida, they became charter members of Burnt Store Presbyterian Church, where George served on the original steering committee, was an elder and church treasurer.  He was on the board of the Southwest Florida Presbytery Foundation, a member of the Presbytery’s Transitional Task Force and the Capital Funds Committee. George is survived by his son, Donald R. Leitch of Punta Gorda;  his daughter, Jerilyn Leitch ’74 Ryder and her husband, John Ryder ’73 of Germantown, Tennessee;  Chari Stanley-Leitch of Punta Gorda, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.  In addition to his parents and 5 siblings, George was predeceased by his wife Grace Ranson ’36 Leitch in 2008 and his son Richard W. Leitch ’72 in 2007. This obituary provided by the family. 1/11
