My deepest sympathy to Elaine and family. I grew up across the street from Leroy , we went to school together and were good friends for many years. He always had something going on! He will be missed by many,

My deepest sympathy to Leroy’s family. My fondest memory of Leroy is when he worked at the A&P Store when it was located across the street from Harper Jewelry and the Star Theater. He was always so kind and helpful to my mother; he would place the groceries in the car for her. He always had a smile and was so respectful. I also was at Park View when he was a student there but I was an underclassman. May our Great Comforter hold each of you closer as He walks with you along this path called grief.
My condolences
Elaine, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family with Leroy’s passing.
