Leopold Aspenleiter
Leo Aspenleiter passed away Friday, April 16, 2021 at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, WA after a lengthy but determined battle against various health issues. Leo was born in Speyer/Speier, Ukraine, South Russia (Soviet Union) on December 16, 1931 to Jakob and Emilie (nee Schanz) Aspenleiter.
Leo married Margaret (Marge) Ridl on August 30, 1956 at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in New Hradec, ND, and immediately moved to Spokane to begin 65 years of building their life together and raising their four kids.
Surviving the Holodomor (also known as the “Terror-Famine” or “Great Famine”) and the Bolshevik/Communist regime that killed his grandfather Valentin, father Jakob and numerous other family members, Leo and his mother, Emilie, narrowly escaped Ukraine by way of walking hundreds of kilometers and cattle train with bombs exploding all around them, they finally made it through Poland and into Germany in the middle of WWII. ....
