Leroy is also survived by one sister and brother in law from Shoreline, two nieces and husbands and two great nieces and one great nephew.

He was preceded in death by his mother and father and one sister.

He had lots of trades, but his most important ones were cows, farming & trucks. His favorite past time was wheeling & dealing. He loved going to Yuma, AZ in the winter & riding motorcycles.

In lieu of flowers please give to your favorite charity. I want to thank Leroy's caregiver, Margaret , hospice for their kindness & care of Leroy, and to our very good friends.
