I am saddened to hear of Lee Roy’ s passing. I worked with Lee Roy for 20 years, until l left Steelcase. He was not only a fellow worker, but a good friend. Always enjoyed working with him. Look forward to seeing him in the hereafter.
Uncle Lee Roy was always so sweet and kind, and always had a twinkle in his eye when he would be laughing about something. I’m so sorry he’s gone. I’m glad he’s no longer suffering. All of you are in my prayers.
Addie – We are very sorry to hear about Lee Roy. We will sure miss him at Church. My favorite memory of Lee Roy has to be at our Sunday School picnics and Christmas parties, no matter how much pain he was in he smiled and tried to enjoy himself. He had a beautiful smile. Addie, you took such good care of him over the years. You are such a good wife. We do know he is in the arms of Jesus today.
Addie, Lee Roy was a fine kind Christian man . Our prayers are going To ask God to comfort you and the family
