To a great man and Legend has left this earth very deep devotion to his family and friends he helped along the way. He will remain in everyone hearts for eternity. One of the greatest and cherished football players of LSU known as the Black Stallion.Leroy had a flourishing business which he and Janice worked very hard to make it what it was. He suffered dearly from football injuries and many surgeries that did not relieve the pain. Took the pain like a like a wounded soldier.Sharp memory and man of much pride.You are in no more pain and all that is old is new again. Soar high to the gates of heaven where loved one's wait for you. Your job on earth is well done.God be with your family.
