LeRoy was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Raised in Ashton, he was a loyal supporter of Wisconsin sports and an enthusiastic fan of all sports. He found joy in the outdoors-camping, tending to his garden, working in the yard, and caring for his home. Above all, LeRoy cherished his family. He adored his grandchildren and never missed a chance to gather with loved ones. He was a devoted Catholic, remaining a lifelong member of St. Bernard Catholic Church in Middleton and was proud of his involvement with the Knights of Columbus.
