The announcement we all dread.
Good Afternoon All:
I send you this one with a very heavy heart. We have lost Fred Leeth and he will be sorely missed by all of us.
If any of you are not familiar with Fred, he was "Pioneer Products" and along with the accoutrements from his company,
Fred made the very best bullet molds I have ever used.
Fred shot his final silhouette match at Friendship this past season. His shooting partners in that match were Fred III (son)
and Calvin (grandson). In my world it gets no better than that.
Fred's visitation will take place this Sunday, Feb. 10th from 2 pm to 5 pm at the 1st Church of God in Eaton, Ohio.
The church is located at:
601 E. Lexington Rd.
Eaton, Ohio 45320
Funeral services will be at 11:00 AM on Monday Feb. 11th
Please hold Fred and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Fred was an icon in our sport.
Mike Hoke
I was honored to know and shoot with Fred.

A very gracious and kind man. He'll be missed. Everything I ever purchased from them passed the money going to them on it's way to me. They believed that everyone in this sport was a trusted friend.

Fred was a fine man; I am proud to have known him, bought several of his fine moulds and other products, and to have enjoyed some of the conversations at the Budget Host Motel in Raton. He will be missed.

Re: Fred Leeth Pioneer Products
I knew Fred. He made a mold for me and I bought tin and cleaning patches from him. I shot at Friendship several times when he was there. He was a fine gentleman and He and his services will be missed.

With a heavy heart ... Rest In Peace Fred. When I asked Fred’s wife on the phone if he could make me a 45-70 Sharps Adustable PP mold ,,, she replied “Fred can make anything” And the mold he cut is a work of art.
Regards

I met Fred and his son almost 20 years ago at the NRA Whittington Center and we have been proud to sell his excellent bullet moulds for the past several years. If anyone is interested in making bullet moulds, Fred's wife Linda has a supply of mould blocks which are ready to bore. She can be reached at 937-833-2865.
