Leffler is alive. Unless something happened to him recently. He was the grand marshal for the T.Q. Race in Greensburg this Spring.

I think he was adding to the list of drivers who drove for Steck.

RIP Jack, you will be greatly missed! It was a great honor to drive cars that you took care of. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Tell your wife and Larry Farno that I say hello.
