Uncle Leroy was a faithful hardworking kind mischievous family man He loved his family and loved his country. He had a wonderful life with Elizabeth and loved her dearly. He took pride in everything he did and did it to the best of his ability. His mischievous smile and laugh let you know you had better be thinking one step ahead of him. He gave good bear hugs and always let you know he loved you. I am sure Mama and Aunt Betty Jean greeted him in heaven
