Shannon, Taylor, & families,
We are so sorry for your huge loss. As your Father, Papa, Husband, brother, & friend journeys into the sunset of his earthly life may you all find peace.
You are in our hearts & prayers. Our most sincere sympathy.
Sharon and family,
Just wanted to offer our deepest sympathy.
We have very fond memories of Leroy, he was a great coworker who taught me a lot and always made me laugh.
After his retirement I truly enjoyed our time spent together on tractor part runs to Wisconsin, Iowa, and all over Minnesota.
I will really miss his help with the hay merging and other farm jobs. I could always count on Leroy to do a good job and grease at the end of the day.
I will miss his birthday cards and his jokes. Most of all I will miss his friendship.
With deepest sympathy.
