Leroy was such an inspiration... he was always determined and positive... he taught me many lessons as I'm sure he did countless others. The world will not shine as bright in his absence but heaven sure gained an amazing angel. My heart goes out to his daughters and their families.

Prayers for the family and friends of Papa. May God show you guidance and understanding during this difficult time. Papa gave us so many memories to cherish forever. I will never forget our talks at the softball field with G-mom. He is truly a blessing and wonderful man that I was lucky to get to meet. Love you all.
