Chris-I am sorry I couldn’t make the visitation on Sunday. I was out of town and just got back. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts. So sorry for your loss.
I was so sorry to hear of LeRoys passing. I knew LeRoy since grade school and graduated with him in 1970. He always had time to talk to me when we met up. He was a nice man that will be miss d by many. Prayers and hugs to you
