Leroy was married to the love of his life Rochelle for twenty- four years. He most especially loved his children and grandchildren. Leroy was most happiest when he could make his family laugh. They shared many memories of laughter, good times and good music. He was an avid musician and an amazing singer. Leroy was selfless. He placed the needs of his family and friends above his own.
A father, husband, and friend has left this world too soon. His family and friends left behind are stricken with grief and heart ache from a life that was too short. He will always be remembered and always loved; but never ever forgotten.
Leroy,
You will forever be in my heart. My love, my all, my everything. Until we meet again, I love you.
Rochelle.
