My heart goes out to Joann and her entire family at this difficult time! I knew Leroy from Miss Quirks art class in high school! He and I would always get in trouble because we were always talking and laughing together! He was fun and had a very good heart! And his laugh was contagious! Rest in peace Leroy!

I worked with Leroy for seven months at Ft Dix when I temporarily replaced Dan White as the Chief of Maintenance. In that short time I came to respect his technical abilities, and appreciate his great, outgoing personality. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

We are so sorry to hear of Leroy's passing. Part of the Goldweber family. Many a summer night sitting on my front porch hearing Leroy play his music. Or walking down the street and seeing him outback. There are no words at a time like this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Words are so inadequate and cannot effectively express how much I will miss you. I can't believe you're gone. You were such a unique individual, full of love, life and passion. You were always willing to lend a hand and had such a caring heart and nature. Rest in peace dear friend and know that you left a mark on my life and in my heart. I was truly blessed to have known you Lee.
