Leonard B. Spitzer, of Washington, New Jersey, passed away on January 19, 2026, at St. Luke’s Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. He was 82.

Leonard was born on April 8, 1943, in East Orange, New Jersey, to the late Frederick Spitzer and Theresa Spitzer (née Reinman).

He worked for many years as a dedicated school bus driver before retiring in 2005.

He is survived by his sons, Michael Spitzer and Daniel Spitzer, and by his daughter, Kathleen Spitzer.

In addition to his parents, Leonard is predeceased by his son, Steven Spitzer.
