Leo Anthony “Tony” DeLisle passed away Jan. 25, 2016. He was born Jan. 13, 1926, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Leo and Clara Kaempf DeLisle.
After graduation from South Division High School in 1944, he entered the U.S. Army and served for two years. He married Betty Krombholz in 1946, and they had three sons.
Leo started his own business after the army, delivering fuel oil to oil company customers. He joined the Wauwatosa (Wisconsin) Fire Department in 1949. He worked his way up the ranks until he retired in 1982 as the assistant fire chief.
Leo and Betty moved to Horseshoe Bay in 1983, and he accepted the call to become the fire chief, while Betty organized the Lake LBJ Municipal District’s Telecare Program, which checks with homebound residents daily. Leo found the job as fire chief both challenging and enjoyable through the years. He earned the respect of not only the residents of Horseshoe Bay but also other area city and fire department officials. This was made evident when Leo received recognition in The Picayune in the Sept. 28, 1993, edition as a “Picayune Hero.”
Leo was a dedicated husband, father and officer and served the communities in which he lived with unselfish devotion.
Leo was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Betty; and son James. He is survived by sons Kenneth wife Linda and David and wife Chera; eight grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
A memorial service is 10 a.m. Feb. 5 at Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home, 1805 U.S. 281 North in Marble Falls, (830) 693-4373.

We lost a great man. He always believed in us no matter what. He was the first to help in any situation. He held strong for our family in the hardest of times. He was a great father, grandfather, great-grandfather and firefighter. He will be greatly missed by all who new him. Love you grandpa with all my heart.
