Dave, Jeff, Lisa, Doug ... and to your families,
We are so sorry for your loss. As I've thought about Uncle Leroy this week, so many good memories come to mind. Chief among them are the family Thanksgivings in Lorain and Avon Lake and how I always looked forward to them. They are among my most cherished childhood memories. It also strikes me that at many of the milestone events in my life (e.g. championship high school baseball game, my college graduation, our wedding). he was there. Family was important to him. He was so immensely proud of all of you .. his kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren We were so happy that, after we retired, we were able to spend time with him here in Florida. In fact, he introduced us to the community we now happily live in. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. He meant so much to us. We'll miss him.
Jim & Cindy
