What a wonderful man of God! He loved to sing hymns and talk about his faith and his life.
Not many can lead such a full and positive life as Leif did! We thank God for you Leif and your legacy of faith in Jesus Christ your Lord.
Well done, good and faithful servant!

Can you tell me if he was a fire chief in Richfield at one time. My dad was a firefighter and there was a chief named Lee Holter.
Thanks,

Thanks for your inquiry. My father was not a firefighter, but the owner of Leif’s Standard Service on 66th and Lyndale.
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, he did live a good and full life and was always singing!
