AMY,

LeRoy was an exemplary person in every respect in everything he did. I used to see him at Rotary meetings every week and he always had something positive to say and never failed to be interested in others. He was a real gem and many are so much better off for having had him in some part of their lives.
LeRoy, I am sorry that we never met, but I must tell you, I feel like I know you. The reason is because of your Grandson Chris. I know you through him. You did good LeRoy! Chris is a man of Integrity, and a good man, husband and father. Just like you I am guessing. LeRoy I rejoyce knowing that you are in heaven with our Daddy God. And I rejoyce knowing that you will live on in your Grandson. Thank you LeRoy.
Leroy Underwood was a very fine gentleman. The entire Crouch family knew him via the Glasgow Christian Chruch. He will be missed.
May God wrap his arms tightly around his family members. We are sorry for your loss.
