LAST ALARM

Leistler Kenneth S.
Cincinnati - Kenneth S. Leistler, 90, battled glioblastoma with the strength and courage he displayed all his life. At home and surrounded by love, he peacefully passed away on September 29, 2021. His life was well lived and he was well loved. He was the beloved husband of 44½ years of the late Mary Martha Leistler (nee Griley). He was the loving father of John D. Leistler and Elizabeth Bruggeman, the dear father-in-law of Steve Bruggeman, and the cherished grandfather of Emma and Jack Bruggeman. He was the devoted brother of Myron "Jack" Leistler, treasured cousin of Susan Fieldman and his relatives from Alma, Ohio. He was the valued brother-in-law of Dorothy Soper and Joy Leistler and the admired uncle of the Leistler, Aurand, Nurre, Staubach, Griley, Dale, and Snyder families. His life was also enriched by his many caring friends. Born on May 24, 1931, Ken grew up in a multi-generational home in Price Hill and lived his adult life in Westwood. He attended Whittier Elementary School and graduated from Western Hills High School in 1949. As a specialist in Radar Maintenance, he served his country as an Airman 2nd Class in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. In 1953, Ken began a job on the B&O Railroad where he repaired freight cars. In 1961, he joined the Cincinnati Fire Department after graduating first in his recruit class. In his 33½ years with the department, he served as a firefighter, arson investigator, and polygraphist. He retired as a Lieutenant in 1995. As he often said, one of the best decisions of his life was made on February 6, 1957. Following a Bible study at the former Price Hill Baptist Church, Ken asked the vibrant speaker, Mary Martha Griley, to go out for a piece of pie. That move changed his life and hers. They married at that church on November 4, 1961, and their wedding still stands as the largest event ever hosted there. Ken delighted in routines and traditions. As a lifelong West-Sider, he took pleasure in attending the Western Hills-Elder football games on Thanksgiving Day, working at the Harvest Home Fair and Parade for the Kiwanis, and going to the Police Masonic Rib Roast. He also liked drinking banana shakes from Putz's Creamy Whip, checking out the counter at Humbert's Meats, and finding everything he and his family needed at Swallen's. The perfect day for Ken Leistler would include eating the breakfast special at Santorini's, lunch at LaRosa's and the buffet dinner at The Farm, working outside in his yard, using coupons and/or finding bargains, napping in his favorite chair while pretending to watch a mystery, and chatting with those whose company he enjoyed. He was a dedicated member of E.T. Carson Masonic Lodge, Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis Club, and Price Hill Baptist Church (now called Heritage Community Church). Ken's lessons to his family were many and varied. Examples of his teachings: know where the fire exits are, there are multiple uses for pizza boxes/plastic containers/duct tape/hangers, expect miracles, waste not-want not, white cars show the least amount of dirt, cast your bread upon the water, a thank you note is always in order, and always "load up" on meat at a buffet. He had a knack for thinking outside of the box and used his MacGyver-like skills to come up with innovative solutions. Some claimed he could fix anything "except a broken heart and a bad reputation." Others might question that assertion because nothing seemed beyond his capabilities. While Ken saw himself as thrifty, resourceful, and honest, his family would add generous, dependable, practical, resilient, and loyal. But above all, he was a man of deep faith, integrity, and honor. He was a shining example of one who lived life graciously in the service of God, his country, his family, and all those lucky enough to know him. Ken Leistler never measured himself against others but did his best and was content with the life God gave to him. The mantra he lived by: "Do what you can, when you can, for as long as you can." His patient demeanor in conjunction with his optimism and work ethic allowed him to firmly believe that all things are possible but "the impossible just takes a little bit longer." He was his family's rock, compass, and calming force. In Ken's final earthly months, he was uplifted by the calls, texts, visits, cards, outings, and fervent prayers from a parade of family and friends. Aided by his stellar medical team, he fought the good fight against his aggressive brain cancer, finished the race, and kept the faith. Now he is receiving his crown of righteousness in his heavenly mansion. His family is comforted by the assurance that, along with his wife Mary Martha, Ken is joyfully reunited in heaven with his parents Alta Leistler and Myron Leister, grandfather John "Pop" Streitenberger, and nephew John M. Leistler, John's wife Pam and their young children Rebecca and Jacob. Although, the earth seems duller without this dear, wonderful man, the heavens seem so much brighter. For many years, Ken was Mary Martha's loving caregiver until she passed away from Multiple Sclerosis in 2006. He embodied his wedding vows, "…to love and to cherish…in sickness and in health… 'til death do us part." Not only did his tender care of Mary Martha extend her life but it enhanced it while inspiring others. With God's help, their genuine love triumphed over any problem they encountered in life. Their family feels blessed to have had a front row seat to such a beautiful love story. Family and friends are invited to a visitation on Friday, October 8 from 5-8 p.m. at the Dalbert, Woodruff and Isenogle Funeral Home, 2880 Boudinot Avenue 45238.

Sad to post John Schneider, who passed away from a massive heart attack while on a trip to Colorado. John was in Greg's class of 1966. More to follow at a later date.
Could you forward info to the troops, I think co-workers and friends would appreciate this info.
FYI:
John (Spike) Schnieder, retired Engine 5, suffered a cardiovascular accident a few days back in Colorado, was taken off life support early this morning, 9/25/2021 and passed a few hrs ago.
This is obviously a very unanticipated event. His immediate family was able to be with him in his final hrs.
I will forward details and info of service for John when family returns to Ohio.
John was a good Firefighter, an Army Veteran, loyal friend, and good man.
Respectfully to my Brothers and Sisters,
KO Campbell

Dear Colleague,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Fire Captain Ronald Wilson.

Ronald was a beloved member of Cincinnati Fire Department for nearly 25 years. He was also a loving husband and a proud father.

During his time with the City, Ronald distinguished himself as a man of great faith and character. He was an incredible firefighter who sought additional training opportunities and responsibilities, including becoming certified as an Ohio Paramedic, in the name of public service and a deep love for the communities he served. He touched the lives of many residents of Corryville, Walnut Hills, Clifton and Uptown over the course of his exemplary career. He routinely went above and beyond the call of duty and earned multiple commendations for his actions in the field.

Please join me in keeping the Wilson family and the entire Cincinnati Fire Department in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Eugene Francis Tensing
1948 - 2019
Eugene Francis Tensing Eugene Francis Tensing, 71 years old, passed away on 23 September 2019 after a long battle with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, the result of exposure to Agent Orange during his service as a radioman in the American Army in South Vietnam. Gene, as he was known to family and friends, was honorably discharged in 1970 and later joined the Cincinnati Fire Department until his retirement in 2003. He was an active supporter of many charitable causes in the city, and supported the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and the Playhouse in the Park. His kindness and financial assistance to friends and family was well known and warmly appreciated. Gene was born in 1948 at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati to Armella and Albert Tensing, and was the youngest sibling of a family that included Sister Judy of the order of Notre Dame de Namur, David, Catherine, John, and Michael, who survive him. His shy smile and modest personality were beloved among a wide variety of friends, many of whom visited him during his final days at Christ Hospital and Llanfair skilled nursing. His remains were donated to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He enjoyed his leisure time at "watering holes" such as Marty's Hops and Vines and Brink Brewing Company, where his assessments of the new wares earned him a reputation as a discerning critic. There were few haunts in the city that he didn't know about or patronize at one time or another, and always enjoyed making new acquaintances, many of whom became lasting friends. He was active on the tennis courts of local clubs and was a life-long member of the Friar's Club. He knew Cincinnati as well as anyone and was an astute observer of the forces shaping the life of his city. Gene could be found at most events of the Cincinnati Symphony seated in the front row, with his hearing aid turned up to catch all the notes. He befriended several of the string players and even as his hearing diminished during his illness, he remained loyal to the symphony and attended performances regularly. He was also a fan of local jazz groups, and could still manage to enjoy the music even as his diminished hearing made the sounds more screeches than riffs and solos. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, 701 E. Columbia Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45212. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 28 at Bellarmine Chapel on the campus of Xavier University. A celebration of Gene's life will follow at the Hilton Garden Inn, 2145 Dana Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45207.Published in The Cincinnati Enquirer from Sep. 26 to Sep. 27, 2019.

William Gregory Houston passed away the evening of Wednesday May 1, 2019. Bill is survived by his wife Veronica, his mother Jean, his children William, Teresa, Tony and Gina, his siblings Denise, Steve and Gina, six grandchildren and countless brothers and sisters in the Cincinnati Fire Department and the fire community at large.
Bill was born to William and Jean Houston on August 21st, 1956. As a young child, Bill had a strong work ethic instilled in him by his father, and a genuine kindness by his mother. Two traits readily apparent to all who knew him.
In 1991, Bill married Ronnie, joining their lives and four children together as one family. Bill loved Ronnie with all his heart, and they supported and loved each other through life's adventures for the past 28 years. Bill dedicated himself to his family as he dedicated himself to all things he did. It was worth doing. And it was worth doing right.
After college, Bill began his work as an educator, book-ending of a career characterized by his desire to serve others. Bill's career began at St. Joseph's Orphanage and culminated as an English Teacher at his alma mater Roger Bacon High School. Bill's desire to serve continued, and in 1997 he joined the Cincinnati Fire Department, where he would spend the next 21 years of his career, finally retiring in September of 2018. He developed some amazing friendships and forged bonds that would last a lifetime during his career. The outpouring of support from friends, co-workers and perfect strangers over the past few days are a testament to his character, and we are eternally grateful for the kindness. Bill's life and career was about helping people who need help. Even in death his organ donations will help 40 people around the country.
Bill was a husband, son, father, civil servant, educator and historian. The world was made a better place the 62 years he walked it's face and touched those around him. Bill's legacy is in the kindness he showed each and every person he met, and the children and grandchildren on whom he made an indelible impression. If there is one thing to gain from this terrible tragedy, it's to be kind to one another. Bill would have been proud to know he had played a part in helping those around him one last time.
To look into Bill's eyes was to know how much he cared about you. There was a genuine kindness there I've seen few other places, and as his son something I will miss deeply. Dad, we miss you terribly, but will see you soon.
