Leroy was a dedicated, faithful and lifelong member of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church for 40 years where he served as Chairman of the Deacon Board and President of the Male Chorus for many years. He was a devoted Christian who loved the Lord, his church and most definitely loved his family and took great pride in family values and tried to teach everyone he knew how important family was. Leroy was well known for telling it like it was (no filter), but always in love. He was also known for walking with the “pimp Limp” and always dressing stylish and neat.
