LeRoy. J. Preisinger was born on March 31, 1940, a son of John and Martha Preisinger in Turtle Lake, North Dakota. He was raised near Ruso and attended a country school in Ruso, ND.

On September 20, 1974, LeRoy was united in marriage to Linda Heinle. They made their home in Minot in September of 1984, where they managed the Ho Hum Motel for three years. LeRoy worked on his own for a while before starting to work at Home of Economy in the plumbing department. He faithfully served the customers for over 17 years until his retirement in 2009.
LeRoy was very talented musically. He played with the Dakota Boys for many years in the Bismarck area. After retiring he played in various nursing homes and was a member of the Frozen Fingers Association. In his later years he did a lot of jigsaw puzzles and word search puzzles. He also made scale model trains.
LeRoy is survived by his wife of 51 years: Linda Preisinger; sister, Ruth of Minot; brother-In-Law, Kenneth Wetzel of New Salem; Sister-In-Law, Gayla Heinle in Flasher; Several nieces, nephews and cousins also survive.
