Uncle Leroy will always be remembered for his generosity and kindness. As a kid, I never forgot how he kept a few extra dollars ready for his nieces and nephews, or how he’d stop by early with donuts just to make us smile. He was patient, steady, and firm when it mattered. His presence meant comfort, and his absence will be deeply felt. He will truly be missed.
