Leonard E. Dye died Dec. 27, 2000, at his home in Davis. Born Dec. 12, 1922, in Owassa (Owosso), Mich., he was 78.

He worked in the banking profession for more than 43 years. He opened Sacramento Savings Bank in Davis and worked there for many years. He was eventually transferred to its corporate office in Sacramento, where he retired as vice president.

He was active in the Kiwanis Club in Davis and American River, serving as lieutenant governor.

During World War II, he served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1942 to 1946 where he participated in action against enemy forces at Guadalcanal, British Solomon Islands as well as serving in Saipan and Tinian. He also served as a volunteer and sponsor at the UC Davis Arboretum. He had been a resident of Davis for the past 30 years.

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Irene Dye of Davis, his daughters; Lola M. Cook and her husband John of Davis, and Pauline Dye of Kona, Hawaii. He is also survived by a granddaughter, Madeline Cook of Davis.

Friends are invited to attend a graveside service at 2 p.m. Friday at the Davis Cemetery, 820 Pole Line Road. In lieu of flowers, his family suggests that remembrances be made in his name to the UCD Arboretum, 1 Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616.
