Leonard Francis Kuboushek was born March 25, 1935, the son of James and Rose (Kovarik) Kuboushek near
Spillville, Iowa. He received his education at St. Wenceslaus grade school, attended 1 year at Rudolphinum High School in Protivin, and graduated from Calmar High School in 1954. He was a devoted Catholic and a lifetime member of St. Wenceslaus Parish, Spillville Iowa. He served in the US Army from 1956 to 1958, receiving his basic training at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. He attended boat school at Fort Eustis in Virginia and then was stationed in Inchon, Korea as a clerk typist. When he was discharged he started farming on the Bily Clock farm, rural Ridgeway, married Betty Moellers of Ossian, Iowa on June 2, 1959, and they continued to farm together until retirement in 1997. He was also a Sales Representative for Pioneer Seed Company for 20 years. He was a simple man, and liked simple things, like dancing to a waltz with Mom, surprising her with a special Christmas gift, crop farming and raising hogs and watching the crops grow every year, sports, woodworking, playing cards, (especially Progressive Rummy with Mom, he really liked to beat her), Mabe's pizza, kolaches & rohlicky, chicken noodle soup and dressing up. In the end, he was thankful for being able to be at home and for all the care his family provided him. Most of all he loved Mom and watching his family grow.
