My favorite times with leroy were when we would go out for taco tuesdays at the mall and spending time visting him.
LeRoy was a special individual. Always telling jokes. I am going to miss his cards. He would send a birthday card months in advance so one could receive it before their special day.
Leroy love to go back to Phlox for visits whenever he got the chance. He really loved his family & hometown.

Leroy had a Heart of Gold! He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it and would tell you a joke as he handed it to you! His Sense of Humor will forever live on in our memories! Leroy will be missed.
Sorry to hear of Leroy's passing. We were classmates in grade school. He was a great classmate, quite a card.
