LeRoy was a life-long member of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Lebanon and served on the Church Council. He was on the Immanuel Dartball Team and was an avid Brewers, Packers and Badgers fan. LeRoy was the last surviving member of the 1940 Rock River Valley League Champion Baseball Team and loved watching the Lebanon Whitetails play. He was a member of the Ixonia Fireman's Auxilary and enjoyed playing cards, fishing and attending polka festivals. Above all, he was an outstanding husband and father and will be deeply missed by many.
