Leo Henggeler was born July 15, 1930 on a farm in Platte County to Leonard and Lucille (Welch) Henggeler. He grew up on the farm, then lived in Wolbach for a short time before moving to Columbus. Leo worked at Liebschwager Disposal Service, exercised horses for a local trainer, and also participated in work programs at Northstar Services.
Leo enjoyed being around animals, especially horses.

Leo liked being outdoors and was a seasoned mower, gardener, and fisherman.
