We will miss you at Miller Park! We would always try to get into your line to pay for our parking in the Molitor lot! My husband would always call you by your first name as he greeted you and would compliment you on your fishing hat! We will miss seeing you! RIP, Lee Roy!

We will miss Leroy at the ball park. We would always choose his line whenever we could. We will never forget his famous words..."Enjoy the game!"

I was very saddened to hear about your beloved
husband's passing. Lee Roy was truly a renaissance
man. He was a gentleman and very kind to all who knew him. He would always me tell what good mystery books I should get from the library.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both!

We loved seeing Lee Roy in the parking lot over the years! We always knew it would be a good game when we would see his smile and made it a purpose to be in his line. Very sad to hear of his passing. He and his genuine smile and kindness will be missed!!

I feel honored to have made a friend in Lee Roy. I enjoyed working with him at Miller Park and learning his history. Any person that had the pleasure of working with him knew how dearly he loved his wife by the words he would share about her. I also remember the day I was shopping at Sams club and saw Lee Roy handing out samples and then turned and saw his lovely wife there also. Lee Roy obviously lived his life to the very last minute doing what he loved. Spending time with people. We will truly miss you, Lee Roy.

I only knew Lee Roy from talking to him when parking at Miller Park. For some reason almost every time I parked off of Bluemound I was lucky to be in his line. We would strike up a conversation and his warmth and humor would come through. If I could pick someone to be my grandfather it would be Lee Roy. He was a class act and will be missed. I will think of him every time I park at Miller Park.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss. May you find comfort in knowing that God keeps those who fall asleep in death in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15.
