McFarland - Harold R. Leek, age 81, of McFarland, WI, formerly of Dodgeville, WI, passed away on April 5, 2022, at Skaalen Nursing & Rehab Center in Stoughton, WI, after a long journey with heart disease.  He was born on March 13, 1941, in Ottawa, IL, the son of Mansel and Marion (Black) Leek.  The family moved to Stoughton, WI.  He graduated from Stoughton High School and Wisconsin School of Electronics.  June 29,1968, he married the love of his life, Donna Fisher, and they were blessed with a daughter and a son.  His professional career was in human resource management which included college recruiting, labor negotiations, wage & salary administration, and safety compliance while employed at Johnson Controls, Alpha Cast, Rayovac and American Health & Safety.

Harold was an Eagle Scout.  He enjoyed camping, hunting, campfires and playing cards, especially cribbage.  He and Donna enjoyed traveling including trips to Hawaii, Alaska, Olympic Games and World Fairs.  A special hobby was assembling Lionel train sets at Christmas.  His jovial sense of humor will be greatly missed by family and friends.
