Leroy was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. In years past he had a passion for NASCAR and working on cars. More recently he loved helping people in and around his neighborhood, whether it was mowing lawns, walking their trash cans back to their house on collection day, working on their cars, anything he could do to help a fellow human being, he didn't care what their story was he was just there to help. He also enjoyed walking his dogs, spending time outdoors to include maintaining a city park that he and his wife adopted. However, his happy place was simply spending time with his best friend, his wife.

He dedicated over 20 years of hard work and service to General Motors Fisher Body, where he built not only a career but lasting friendships. He took great pride in his work and in providing for his family.
