Drong Havre - Retired city and Hill County employee Leo J. Drong of Havre died of natural causes Tuesday, Sept. 6, at Northern Montana Care Center in Havre. He was 102. Cremation has taken place under the direction of Holland & Bonine Funeral Home. His memorial service is 2 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home chapel, followed by burial in Highland Cemetery in Havre. Leo was born Feb. 10, 1909, in Browerville, Minn., to Jacob and Mary (Chock) Drong. When he was 2, his father died and he and his mother moved out to Havre, Mont., where Leo attended schools. Leo married Ione Converse on Feb. 8, 1935, in Chinook. They made their home in Havre and raised their two children. Leo worked for the city of Havre. Ione passed away in 1949, leaving Leo with their two young children to raise on his own. Leo worked hard to keep his family together. On May 4, 1957, Leo married Catherine Newbauer. They remained living in Havre, where Leo worked for Hill County as a heavy equipment operator. They enjoyed spending time with family, traveling together, and especially fishing. Catherine passed away in 1994. Leo retired from the county in 1975, but didn't like to sit idle, so he began working for Bill Dritsoulas as a handyman or jack-of-all-trades kind of helper. Leo worked for Bill until he was 85 years old. Leo was always proud to say that he lived in Havre more than 100 years! Leo had a unique mind; he was always inventing things, was very imaginative and could fix anything. He enjoyed people and was very kind and well-mannered. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wives, Ione in 1949 and Catherine in 1994; two half-brothers, and one grandson, Michael Folk, in 1978. Leo is survived by his daughter, Maxine (Joe) Folk and his son, Kenneth James (Linda) Drong, both of Havre; six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren. Memorials in Leo's honor may be made to the St. Jude Parish Center, or to a memorial of the donor's choice.
