HUBBARD – Leslie “Lee” B. O’Hara Sr., 80, passed away peacefully at home, with his loving family by his side, Sunday morning August 29, 2021, after a four-year battle with cancer.
Lee was born August 20, 1941 in Youngstown, son of Joseph T. and Hazel A. Farthing O’Hara.
Lee was a graduate of East High School and a member of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Hubbard.
Throughout his life he held many different jobs. He was a printer for Republic Steel and LTV Steel, and later a printer for Western Reserve Litho. He was also the owner / operator of Town & Country Car Wash in Youngstown and eventually retired as a Line Foreman at Lighting Products in Hubbard in 2007.
Lee was an avid golfer who enjoyed playing in the St. Anthony’s Thursday night golf league as well as the Sunday morning tee times with family and friends. He was very proud of his hole-in-one on the 16th hole of the Hubbard Golf Course on May 7, 1995.
He was a man of many talents. He had the ability to fix anything, build anything, and solve a vast majority of problems.
His wife, former Geraldine “Gerry” S. Perline, passed away on December 25, 2020. Lee and Gerry met while attending East High School. They were married on November 19, 1960 at Immaculate Conception Church in Youngstown and together raised four children.
