Jan and family. We are just heartbroken for you. We have so many fun memories of Leroy and you!! Leroy will always be remembered as a Big Hearted, fun loving, "Gentle Giant." He always had a big smile on his face and always a kind word to share. Rob and I were just talking about Leroys famous line... "You Big Dummy!" He did keep us on our toes!!
Rest In Peace Leroy...May God Bless you all and give you strength thru this difficult time and the days ahead!!
Love you always,
Rob and Margie Mellon

Leroy was fun, funny, and most of all kind. Our family was truly blessed when he married my aunt and became part of it. I'm very grateful to have so many fond memories of him to remember.

I had the honor of being your Dad's Home Health Nurse the past 6 months. He soon became one of my favorites, I always looked forward to my visits with him and with Jan. He was an amazing man. He never complained, no matter how bad the day may have been, he always had a smile on his face. I sincerely hope your memories of your Dad will bring comfort in the days ahead. He was truly a special man.

Jan and family: I know my dad and Leroy are up in heaven solving the problems of the day. Leroy was a special friend to both my parents and all the kindness shown will never be forgotten. We wish you comfort and peace in the days ahead.

Our deepest sympathy to the McMeans family. LeRoy we will miss your kindness, good humor and great smile. God gave you the biggest burden to carry this past year and you must have passed the test because you now have a seat next to him. Out of sight but never to be forgotten.

We will never forget all of the fun times we had with you and Jan living by Moraine and then at the house in Zelienople. You both helped us during that critical newlywed transition more than you could possibly know! We will miss that wonderful big deep laugh and riding in new Ram Chargers with you! Hugs and prayers to you Jan and all of Leroy's family. He was a wonderful man and will be sorely missed! Love, The Brats - Ken and Linda Woods
