My heartfelt condolances to Norma and family. I have so many great memories of “Leroy” and his wonderful family. Mike taught me a lot in the time I worked with him and made my time in Oliver fun. Picnics on the beach and just sharing time with his family. I remember the dishcloth in the side pocket being used for everything. You have lost a special person but you have so many great memories that he will never be far from you.Thinking of you all at this time. Jim
