When I remember Leroy I think of words like thoughtful, kind, and considerate of others. I also remember a lot of happy camping club memories that he was a part of.

We are so sorry to learn of LeRoy’s passing. Paul and I have known him since junior high and graduated together from Mt. Penn High School, class of 1952. He was quiet in school, and extremely smart. We always enjoyed seeing him over the years at our class reunions. We are sure he will be missed by all who knew him.

I worked with Leroy at Armstrong Floor Plant and Kankakee Plant. At dinner in the evening we would talk about his trips to Disney World by himself and with Grand Kids. Leroy was great to work with and loved very ripe bananas. He was quiet, intelligent and always had the right answers to the engineering questions. He was always the gentleman and had time for everyone. I would call him and we talked about many things. I will miss him.

My sincere condolences to LeRoy’s Family and Friends. I worked with Leroy at Armstrong for many years. We also did some camping with him and his wife some years ago. I also went to Penn State with Leroy and know that he was very proud of his accomplishment receiving his Engineering BS Degree. LeRoy was a wonderful caring friend. You could always depend on Leroy for anything. He will be missed, but he contributed to this world in many positive ways. Now on to the next Chapter. Best Wishes to you all!
