My Popop was a much loved man. The strong, silent rock that could always be counted on to offer his encouragement, sincerity and the occasional Vietnemese curse word for good measure. He will be dearly
missed always. Rest in Peace, Pop. All my love...your Maggie Lyn.

We will miss Uncle Leroy. He always reminded me of Popeye with his strong arms, facial expression and a Navy man. As one of the youngest neices, he took the time to listen to me when he would come to visit. I am glad wewere able to visit him a couple of years ago. I didn't know then it would be our final good bye. May Jesus comfort you all in Uncle Leroy's passing.
