Dear Carolyn,
Receive my condolences on the passing of your beloved Leroy.
I enjoyed knowing you both and watching Leroy appreciate my cooking for more than 10 years on the Ridge.
I remember him as a curious, smart man interested in nature and all things WWII amongst others. Leroy you should find good company up there in that happy place.
Rest in peace Leroy.
Love Christiane

Dear Carolyn,
My condolences on the passing of your beloved Leroy.
Leroy was a good guy.
I enjoyed watching him eating my French cooking for more than 10 years...the best years of my life on the Ridge.
I know that he will be missed in more ways than one as he had an active brain always on the way to new discoveries be it of the nature kind or facts and intrigues of WWII amongst others.
Rest in peace Leroy, I know that you will be in good company.
