Dear Sis Yvonne & family,

I extend my heartfelt condolences to you at this time. Bro Leroy was truly a gifted musician and Minister of Music. I have found memories singing in the Choir under Leroy's direction, listening to the Love Alive brother and Get your Praise on as well as visiting the 'studio' on Upland street to buy my music.

I pray that the peace of God that surpasses all understanding be upon you at this time. God is your refuge and strength. God is comfort and love and I pray that you will be surrounded by family and friends who love you dearly as we celebrate Leroy's life.

Truly a rich legacy has been left. Leroy, your husband, impacted so many lives through his Music ministry, Love Alive Ministry, Get Your Praise on, as a Teacher of Music and more recently as Head of the Bermuda Entertainer's Union.

Neh 8:10 Do not grieve, the Joy of the Lord is your strength.

Praying for you and the entire family.

God Bless

We learn again what family is for.
Today you gather together as a Family

With each memory, let you hearts be reminded that nothing can ever take away the beauty of the one you have known,for his love will remain a part of you forever.

Aunt Sylvia, Yvonne, Daaimaan and Zy so sorry to hear of Your Son, Husband, Uncle and my Minister of Music, Leroy's passing. A school friend of The Berkeley Class 1977 and sang in his choir at FCOG NS. Leroy would torture me at school and at church. He was my regimented stern friend and no nonsense Minister. I will miss you Leroy. No more pain for you just pain in our hearts. The Christian Community Worldwide will miss you. Until we meet again I ask God to comfort your family today and the days to some.

Sis Yvonne, my heart goes out to you and your family at this time. Many of us have been blessed to know Leroy - I still say he had the best rendition of "All you need is in the House"! You are fortunate to have many good memories to hold onto and Jesus to lean on. Peace be unto you.

A man like Leroy is a rarity. He was a living legend. One of a few of my friends who resided in the depths of profound reasoning and informed thought. Leroy was believable and consistent. This man always made sense. I'll miss him dearly.
