Brother Leonard J. Luoma Cortland Lodge #529

FRENCH CREEK, W.Va. - Leonard Jay Luoma, 87, died Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at the West Virginia Veterans Nursing Facility in Clarksburg. He was in his usual health, and death was unexpected.

Leonard was born Feb. 5, 1939, in Warren, to the late Leo Jacob and Helen Jean Cole Luoma. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by an infant son.

Surviving is his daughter, AmberKay (David) Klingensmith of French Creek and his brother, Paul Eugene (Rhea) Luoma of Fowler.

In 1957, he graduated from Fowler High School. A veteran of the U.S. Army, he was stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia, where he shot on the competition pistol team.

His great passion was being in the outdoors and antiques. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, trapper, turtle noodler, arrowhead hunter and medicinal root digger. He loved the old ways and was very knowledgeable in them. He had owned a fur shed and spent many years buying and selling raw furs. He was a member of the Ohio State Trappers Association and would put on trapping clinics to teach the next generation. He loved collecting and selling antiques.

A carpenter by trade, he was a member of Ohio Carpenters Warren Local #1438 and retired from West Virginia Carpenters Local #436. As a member of the Cortland Masonic Lodge, he received his 50-year pin.

Friends and family will be received 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 7, at Lane Funeral Homes, Shafer-Winans Chapel in Cortland.
