I worked with Leroy at AC. I was an apprentice working with him in the mid- 60s. He was a great person and a very skilled electrician. May God ever have him and his family in his holy keeping.

Our family is so crushed by hearing of Leroy's death. He was part of our family at time in the past. We so loved him and that smile and gentle wit of his. We have many fond memories of him to draw from for strength. We know he was a blessing to your family also and we were happy for him to find true happiness with all of you and yours. We send our love and best wishes and will place you in our prayers.
