P. L. (Leo) Baggett was born
June 2, 1936, son of Malcom (Mack) and Rubye Baggett. He passed on August
31, 2009. He grew up in the St. Andrew area of Panama City and attended St.
Andrew Elementary and Jinks Junior High Schools, graduating in 1954 from
Bay County High School. An outstanding athlete in high school, Leo earned a
football scholarship to Florida State University, where he lettered on the
1954 – 1957 Seminole teams, playing in the Sun Bowl against UTEP, in the
first-ever FSU – Florida game, and in the Bluegrass Bowl against
Louisville. Leo graduated from FSU but remained close to teammates,
coaches, and classmates throughout his life. Leo and Frances (Frandy) Dugan
of Madison, FL, were wed in 1958. Married for over 50 years, Leo and Frandy
had three children, Russ, Sarah, and Anne. Following graduation Leo went to
work for Lorillard, Inc., and retired from that company as a regional
manager in 1992. During his tenure with Lorillard, Leo lived in many
places, including Louisville, KY; Knoxville, TN; Memphis, TN; and Tampa,
FL. Everywhere he went Leo made lasting friendships and influenced lives
because he genuinely cared about people. That concern showed in all he said
and did. In 1992 Leo and Frandy returned to the Panama City area and built
a home in Lynn Haven, where he soon became active in Republican politics,
the FSU Booster Club and his church. Retirement brought Leo time to
participate in other interests as well. He helped his loved ones refurbish
their homes, developed his woodworking skills, raised black angus cattle,
fished, especially with his cousin and friend Russell Underwood, and
ardently followed the activities of his grandchildren. A firm believer in
the idea that adults have a shared responsibility for the welfare of all
community children, Leo was a surrogate father and mentor to many young
people. He was a coach with peewee football associations wherever he went
and worked in Scouting. Always a devoted father, Leo became a loving
grandfather to Kendall, Paul, and Hite Hubbuch; Katie and Bryant Cole; step
grandfather to Josh and Jennifer Clark and step great-grandfather to her
sons Shane and Phoenix. Leo was predeceased by his parents, Mack and Rubye,
by his older brother Malcom Jr., by his younger brother Greg, and his
brother-in-law Tony Atwell. He leaves to cherish his memory wife Frandy of
Lynn Haven; son Russ of St. Andrew, FL; daughter Sarah and her husband Skip
Hubbuch of Columbus, GA; daughter Anne and her husband Chuck Cole of Fort
Myers, FL; sister Patsy and her husband Mike McPhail of Jacksonville, FL;
sister Charlotte and her husband Richard Smith of St. Louis, MO, and Panama
City; sister Maxine Atwell of Panama City; sister Angela and her husband
Joe Tucker of Panama City; six grandchildren; two great grandsons; and many
aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
