Leroy drove me crazy as a little girl growing up in Oxford Apts. He would tease me and chase me and make me cry but I knew he didn't mean no harm:) He will definitely be missed and I will always cherish our friendship. I pray for his family and his beautiful children.
Until we meet again "Roy" rest in heaven my dear friend!
