Very sorry to hear of the passing of Leroy Pfund. I had the pleasure of meeting Leroy in Decatur, Il. The same Decatur where he played with the Decatur Commodores. I have posted a picture of Leroy in my office, to show how proud I am to have met and shook hands with Mr. Leroy Pfund.

My heart felt condolences to each of you in Lee's family. Lee's life and kindly words got me motivated to be an authentic Christian student athlete at Wheaton and served me well as a great model for my life. May the Lord grant you His peace.

While Lee was my mom's cousin, I thought of him like an uncle. Lee was a man of integrity, strength, compassion and great faith in his Lord. I have such fond memories of him since I met him in my early twenties, and his life has had a great impact on me.
My prayers and thoughts are with the family. Lee will be greatly missed this side of heaven!

My sympathies are with the family for a man who had a wonderful life. I along with many Wheaton graduates were greatly touched by this man. As a four year baseball player under Gary Taylor, Coach Pfund was always there to give me encouragement and a little instruction. What a nice man he was. Now with our Lord!

We are with you in Spirit as you all say this difficult earthly good-bye.
As we have read recently of Lee, it is obvious to many and us personally that Lee lived a life worth emulating because of his love for his Savior. His influence upon our lives made us both better people.
Our love to you all and the Lord Willing we will see you in July.
Love and hugs

Coach Pfund to many, he was Uncle Lee to me. Always remember my visits with him during my childhood but more recently trips to Cheesecake Factory in SoFla. Rest in Peace.

The Lord has called His faithful servant, and our wonderful teacher, leader and friend, Coach Pfund, to his heavenly home. Our prayers go to his family at this time. We want them to know that both Coach and Mibs had a very positive influence on our lives. We thank God for them.

Coach Pfund was like a second father. I not only enjoyed our conversations on our southern baseball trips but since Kerry and I ran around together for a few years after my graduation, I was included in some additional time. Coach's testimony of never playing on Sunday was an inspiration. And then to hear how he befriended Jackie Robinson when others on the Dodgers shunned him revealed a man who at a very young age was principled in the faith and showed everyone the love of Christ. I guess what I am trying to say is that Coach walked the talk. he will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to the family. We pray you will continue the legacy of your father.
