Leroy was a humble man with a giant heart and a gentle soul whose kindness was unmatched. He was a man of deep faith, finding strength and devotion in God throughout his life. Leroy was married to the love of his life for 60 years, they enjoyed doing many things together. He loved the nature and being outside and having quiet time reading his western novels. When he was cutting wood the bigger the tree the better or using his wood working skills on his cabin where he loved spending time with his family, going for rides with Phyllis on the four-wheeler and walking in the woods was a few of his pastime activities. He was truly in his happy place always eager to share his love for the outdoors with his family. Above all Leroy cherished his family, a devoted husband, a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. He found great happiness in spending time with his family and sharing the simple pleasures of life.
