Leo Edward Orsak , 80, of Palacios, Texas passed away Tuesday, June 10, 2014. He was born to Jerry Orsak and Mary Vasek in Bay City, Texas on April 27, 1934. He graduated from Tidehaven High School in 1952. In 1954 he married Opal Frances Carter, his wife of sixty years.

He is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Frances, a son Larry and wife Susan of Catlettsburg, Kentucky, a son Gary and wife Julie of Farmington, New Mexico, a son Thomas and wife Alicia of New Braunfels, Texas, eight grandchildren, Thomas, Travis, Robin, Jennifer, Amber, Susan, Trey and Brock, twenty two great grandchildren with one on the way and a sister, Rosemary Harvey of Blessing, Texas.

Leo was loved dearly by all. He was a great father, always actively participating in all that his sons were involved in. They could always count on him being there for them. He taught them to work hard, love God and their family and he set that example for them. He loved people and loved nothing more than getting together with all of his family and friends and talking or driving them around in his beloved red 1959 T bird convertible or working on his old Kubota tractor. He will be sorely missed by many.
The family will receive visitors at the Palacios Funeral Home on Thursday, June 12 from 4-6 p.m. Services will be held Friday, June 13, 2014 at the Palacios Funeral Home in Palacios, Texas at 10 a.m. with Fr. Bryan Heyer officiating. Interment to follow at the Palacios Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be his grandsons, Brock, Thomas, Travis and Trey Orsak, Samuel Packard, Mark Dowdle and his nephew Tim Harvey.
