Although I met Santa LeRoy many times, chatting it up with you at Camp Shelly is my fondest memory. I don't think I have ever met anyone more easy to talk to. Rest in peace, LeRoy. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful daughter in our dear Miss Shalimar.

A truly wonderful grandfather...I shudder to think what I may have become without his influence, love, and support.

Love you grandpa.

The term "what you see is what you get" perfectly describes Leroy.He was an honest man,with a great smile and full of fun and energy. He was so proud to be the only guy who could still fit in his Bishop jacket 50 years later, and he wore it well. He will be greatly missed.Our sympathy goes to his family.
