LeRoy was a fun loving, generous person who never met a stranger. He grew up on the south side of Minneapolis going to school at Howe, Sanford and Roosevelt. He worked at various places in his younger days, settling with a position as a guard for Hennepin County. He absolutely loved his job. He eventually took a medical retirement.
