I know LeRoy is already stirring things up in heaven! His care, humor and activism were contagious. So blessed to have known and worked with him. To his family - May loving memories keep your hearts smiling. He was a sweetheart!

I first met Leroy Wright when I was a grad student in the High Energy group [ the mid 1960s] at Syracuse Univ. where he was a very valued member of the research team. More than that he was always interesting to talk to. He went on to lead a valuable life working for justice.

A fighter for justice! How bless we were to have known him.

My condolences to the family and sending prayers for comfort. Jenny Jones Laurel Md
