Lee Roy,
I am at a loss without you. I catch myself wanting to text or call you daily as I did so often. I will always remember you as a close and dear friend. I cherish the great times we all spent together. Looking back, I guess we spent 45 years together …I wanted more but it was time to go home. I’m sure Carole welcomed you with open arms. Together forever. It was a honor and pleasure. Thank you for the gift of friendship.

To Michael and other family and friends:
Lee Roy was a bright and cheerful light in this World, A World that could desperately use more lights like him. I remember lots of good times and great conversations going back 35 or so years. I remember Carole and he being giving me reassuring words during a dark time in my life way back then, and I hope that in a small way that my joyful memories of him and my love serve to help repay that favor. You all are in my prayers..
Prayers, love and hugs

So sorry to hear about Leroy. Leroy was one of the nicest men I’ve ever met. He was always smiling and happy. I hope he had a peaceful journey. Sending peace and comfort and love.
I taught Lee Roy in Sunday School. He was such a sweet boy and got saved in my class. I know where he is and the angels are rejoicing. I loved him and he will always be remembered.
I can’t speak for Lee Roy but I considered the two of us close friends, which aren’t easy to come by. I really don’t know what else to say except that I’m sorry and I’m here if there’s anything you need.
