Some people play larger roles in our lives than others. Leroy always involved himself in my interests. He was more like a Father than a brother-in-law. He was ready to take friends and me to football games; to pick me up from Foster High School after I worked late at the Growler, the school newspaper. I was included on camping trips & movie nights. These things were not available to me except through Leroy and my sister Dot. I feel very lucky to have had Leroy as my “Dad.”
See you later, Alligator.
Love Willa and Niko the Wonder Dog.
PS Unforeseen circumstances preclude my being at the Memorial Service tonight but Niko and I are with you all in Spirit.
Leroy! What can one say about Leroy? Always the jokester. Having known Leroy and his family over 50 years, there was never a dull moment. Funny little guy and his funny little ways. Rest in peace until we meet again.
