Leslie Spruill, Jr.'s Obituary
Leslie Spruill, Jr., 83, a long-time resident of Columbia, NC and Princeton, NJ departed this life on May 17, 2015.
Leslie was raised in Alligator, NC where he had fun with his sister, cousins and friends, and developed a mean sweet tooth. But nothing made him happier than when his mother surprised him with a car out of the blue when he was just 15. He loved his independence. By then he was already working…hard. Years later, after getting married and having children, Leslie moved his family to New Jersey for a better employment opportunity.
He went on to become a dedicated Public Works serviceman in Princeton, NJ. He retired from that post after twenty-five years of service during work hours, nights, and weekends, whenever duty called.
If you knew Leslie, you know he enjoyed a good western, a nice liver dinner and he had a great, big laugh. Leslie was known to work hard and play hard, and near the end he was happy to be with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Leslie was predeceased by his mother Mollie "Lucille" Spruill; his father, Leslie "Junior" Spruill; his wife Virgil Lee Spruill; and is survived by his sister Lula; his aunt Lue; his son Larry Allen Spruill (Fern); his daughter Dale Spruill Redding (Leon); four grandchildren; five great grandchildren; and several beloved in-laws, stepchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends.
He will be greatly missed.
A service was held Saturday, May 23rd at 11 a.m. at St. John Baptist Church in Columbia, NC.
