• Notes

  The Day (New London, CT) November 27, 2004 Franklin - Leonard E. Wiese Sr., 64, husband of Dolores "Lori" (Snurkowski) Wiese of 795 Route 32, Franklin, died on Friday, Nov. 26, 2004, at The William W. Backus Hospital. He was born in Norwich on Aug. 27, 1940, the son of the late Ernest J. Sr. and Virginia (Tubbs) Wiese. He was the former owner and operator of an environmental spill cleanup company, Shire Corp., where he retired in 2003. He was a volunteer firefighter for the Poquetanuck Volunteer Fire Department and was an avid boater and motorcyclist. Mr. Wiese also loved Arabian horses. Never able to say the word "retire", he spent his last years "pushing dirt" and could be seen daily operating heavy equipment. Above all, he enjoyed a good cup of coffee with friends while debating almost any subject. He was united in marriage on June 11, 1966, in Preston to Dolores "Lori" (Snurkowski) Wiese, who survives along with two sons, Leonard E. Wiese Jr. and his wife Belinda of Voluntown and Kenneth E. Wiese and his fiancée Leslie of Mansfield; two daughters, Sally Wiese Kropp and her husband Michael of Franklin and Bonnie Tompkins and her husband Robert of Groton; a brother, Ernest J. Wiese Jr. of Preston; two sisters, Catherine A. Fish of Preston and Gina L. Murphy of Franklin; a cousin, Mary Elizabeth Kenyon of Norwich; several friends and associates; eight grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.
