So sorry for your loss. Jimmy was a good friend and we had a lot of fun at the wagon wheel and when he coached at Greenbrier. I loved his entire family and he was so proud of them. Greenbrier lost a true citizen of our community.

Mr. Lieblong was my teacher and principal during my years at QHS (Class of 1982). He was always fair and even-tempered. I learned so much from him, not just social studies, but how to treat students. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

So many wonderful memories of this man not just as a Teacher but a friend. He would come and hunt on Dad's land and always shared. He always had time for a story or two with dad. He will be missed. The whole family loved him. Our condolences to the family.

My sympathies and prayers to Mr. Lieblong's family. He was my very memorable 4th grade teacher at centennial elementary in Little Rock in the mid 60's. I learned the constellations and planets by music and he helped me "get" long division by breaking it down "and now we're going to bring this number down and fight with it"....he had the heart of a teacher and a very special man.....

I have so many memories of Mr. Lieblong. Those go back to my early memories in school, through high school and into my adult years. He was always even-keeled and pleasant to me and I never experienced that dreaded paddle! He truly was a part of thousands of lives and was very much loved and respected. Praying for Mrs. Sue and the family.
