1 Sep 2020I am so very sad to hear of LeRoy’s passing. I have known him since 1979. One time I even got to be in his pick up with my husband and Francine and Leroy was chasing a herd of deer on the snow and he rolled the pick up!! Classic Leroy story! My condolences to the family.

1 Sep 2020I’m so sorry for the family’s loss. I’ve known LeRoy for years, way back in the 70’s. We used to go boating at Cedar Lake during the summers. He and Karen had the speed boat, Skip and I had the sail boat and our other friends had a fishing boat. So, we always had enough to do over the weekends. Altho, that was years ago, the memories are vivid in my mind. Praying for the family.
