Leroy was a hard-working husband, father and grandfather who spent most of his life working to provide for his family and loved ones. He retired from the City of Wadsworth, as well as Evision Waste. He enjoyed hunting trips with his son, bowling, playing poker with friends, playing video poker machines and most of all, he enjoyed the company of friends and family and engaging in a good conversation with someone. Leroy had a wonderful sense of humor and was always sure to bring a smile to your face, as well as a loving and generous heart, willing to help whoever he could, never expecting anything in return. Above all, Leroy was an amazing man, husband, father and grandfather with a heart full of love for his family and he will be greatly missed by his family.
