Keyboard Trust founder dies at 99

Keyboard Trust founder dies at 99

John Leech who, with his wife Noretta Conci, created the Keyboard Charitable Trust, died on Friday a week ago at the age of 99. He received a private family funeral.

I will try to reproduce an article Menahem Pressler wrote about John.
