Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

There are not enough words to describe Uncle Leroy. He was a soft spoken man whos kindness and generosity had no boundaries. He would go out of his way to help anyone and everyone. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law and uncle to many nieces and nephews. He was humble, grateful and honest. Although I didnt see him as often as I should have, I will always think of him with deep respect, love and admiration. He always did the right thing for those he loved. They dont make men like Uncle Lee anymore.
My condolences to Wayne,Louis and your families. Im comfortable knowing hes with Aunt Thelma and the rest of his loved ones. RIP

I have fond memories as a little girl spending the night and Uncle Lee walking around the house with me standing on his feet. He was a gentle and kind soul. I will miss him! I know he is happy to be with his wife one more.
