We miss you dad. You were the most wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Our lives will never be the same without you. Until we meet again. We will always love you.
Thank you for that memory. I am leRoy’s daughter and Christopher’s mom. We miss him more than words can say.
LeRoy used to bring Christopher to the hospital daycare. He was always smiling and would greet the other children in such a kind manner. He was so proud of Christopher and they shared a special bond. Prayers for his family.
We are so sorry for your loss of LeRoy. What a nice man! We met LeRoy as he painted a variety of rooms in our department, Imaging Services, St. Cloud Hospital. He always had a smile, a kind word and a joke as he went about his work. He took pride in his work and a joy to see. We pray the happy memories will help heal your hearts as you grieve his death. Peace and comfort to your family.
Thank you so much. We are all lost without him, especially my mom.
Life will never be the same.
