LeRoy was a past president of the Michigan Bean Commission, a member of the Sugar Beet Growers Association and of the Michigan Farm Bureau. He was also a skilled handyman, fixing anything and everything in his shop. LeRoy enjoyed traveling with his children, spending time with his family, and above all, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
