Daddy, I can’t begin to tell you how empty my heart is right now. You were always there for all of us – no explanations necessary. You touched the lives of so many and were a fine example, being a man of honesty and integrity. I wish I had been there that night when you said such a beautiful prayer to Mama, Jim and Patricia. I wish I could have said goodbye. I know you are in a wonderful place still watching over us all. I love you Daddy. With all my heart, Janie
Audrey and I want to express our sincere condolences with the loss of Lion LeRoi. I always enjoyed being associated with LeRoi, and I believed he loved serving his fellow man. I was always grateful for and appreciated his service to his country during the war, and felt honored and blessed to have called him my friend.
