Leroy Dunn Obituary
Leroy, and his identical twin brother Leon, both served in the military in two world wars. Leroy served his country in Korea, Japan and the Philippines. The brothers returned to Phoenix to continue their education upon discharge from the military and both became educators in Phoenix. Leon passed away in 1977, working and living in the same school district as Leroy. Leroy was a cherished member of the Isaac School District community, in which he lived his entire adult life. Beginning as a teacher in Isaac School District and continuing as the principal of J.B. Sutton Elementery School for twenty two years. Upon his retirement in 1983 he still volunteered full time at Sutton School for eight years. His volunteerism ended when he was elected to the Isaac School Board, on which he served another eight years. Leroy will be truly missed as a community member and his legacy will be long remembered as an "old school gentleman" and as a professional educator and school board member. A funeral service will be held at 12:00 PM on Saturday, February 17 at Greenwood Memory Lawn Mortuary located at 719 N. 27th Ave. Phoenix, Arizona. He will be interned with his twin brother (Leon) in Prescott, Arizona.

I had the good fortune to know Leroy Dunn for about fifty years. He was my fourth grade teacher at the old Isaac School (when I first heard the famous, "No, I'm Dunn -- you're finished"). As an adult, I, too, became a teacher in the Isaac School District. I spent my whole career at P.T. Coe, so I never had Leroy as my principal. However, we shared experiences in other district activities over the years. He will be missed.

Grew up in the same neaborhood and knew Mr.Dunn in passing,what stands out in my memory is I had heard a great deal of Mr. Dunn and all who spoke of him always did so with respect.

I remember being in his office one time as a first grader(1962), that was enough he wasn't mean but got his point across. Neat man
