LeRoy was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a strong man of God who sacrificially loved and served his family and his Lord.  He lived his life for others, and leaves behind a legacy of love that will last for generations to come.  He learned much from his Father in heaven who says it is better to give than receive.

 

“For God loves a cheerful giver ... They share freely and give to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” (2 Corinthians 9:8-9).

 

LeRoy was preceded in death by his loving wife of 66 years, Mary Ann Strohbusch.  He is survived by his six children, LeRoy (Kathy), Bonita (Strohbusch) Ashbaugh, David (Susan), Robert (Sherry), Mark (Linda) and Joseph (Marijane); 16 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and many dear friends.
