It is with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of Gary Lee LeRoy. I would like to offer my deepest condolences to Gary's family and friends. I knew Gary now for about 9 years having first met him when I became the state chaplain for The Sons of The American Legion. Later, I became the chaplain for the First District Sons of The American Legion of which Gary was a member. Regretfully, due to health problems I am unable to attend Gary's funeral. However, I will pray for him and ask God to Bless his soul.
