Leroy was a true friend of mine and I cherish the memories of the times I spent with him. He taught me so much about writing songs, about music, but most importantly about life. I will miss him. My thoughts are with the family.

May God bless each of you with peace and comfort during your time of grieving. I never knew Mr. Drumm, but I've enjoy his songs for years. While he and his talents will be greatly missed here on earth, his songs will live on forever. Now he can write again for Bill, Lester and all the rest. God Bless!
