I only met LeRoy and Vera a couple years ago. I have to say LeRoy was such a humble caring man. His outlook was always positive. He had Vera by his side and what a "team" they made. God Bless....I'm sure you're showing them how to play BB up in heaven. My thought and prayers go out to Vera and the rest of the family.

It was my honor to meet you many years ago at the East Bank Saloon. As the years progressed it was my pleasure to call you my friend. Rest in peace without pain.

Sorry for the loss.
Leroy was a good person and a teacher. He took me to school the few encounters we had on the court. He will be missed by many.

My thoughts are with all family and friends. My brother Gary Elliott (East Bank Saloon team) is wating for you to join him for "hoops" up in heaven.

Leroy's smile could light an entire room and it often did. My sympathy to all his family and friends for this loss.

LeRoy was such a truly humble and gentle soul. He loved and cherished his family and friends. Our family was blessed with his friendship and he and his family were the best neighbors and friends ever. You are gone too soon but your legacy and friendship will live on forever LeRoy!
