Tried to call Leroy today and got his voicemail. Hadn't talked to him in a few years and something made me try and call. Not sure if it was because it was time to buy a bear license or divine intervention. I used to hunt bear with him in the UP, deer in the thumb, and fished the great lakes with him. Lots of good memories and stories. Will be missed, -Ed
