"Lenny" Jax, age 73, of Richland Center, passed away on Thursday, April 1, 2004, at Pine Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Richland Center, surrounded by his loving family. He had been in failing health for the past six months due to heart complications. Leonard was born on Dec. 13, 1930, in Cazenovia, son of the late Leonard J. and Lucille "Kitty" (Ferguson) Jax. The family moved to Richland Center in 1942. Lenny attended St. Mary's Catholic School and Richland Center High School, where he excelled in sports, including football, boxing and track.
