Leroy was a Christian and loved our Lord. Leroy joined the U.S. Army, proudly serving his country and saw action during the Korean Conflict. Later, he worked at Tinker Air Force Base as an aircraft mechanic until his retirement. Leroy enjoyed working in his yard and vegetable garden, and was currently looking forward to his fall garden.
