My sympathy to all of the family and friends of Leroy. I had the opportunity to get to know him over the past few years at the Eagles. When you saw him he always had a smile that would make you smile back no matter how you felt prior to seeing him. I know he loved his family and was very proud of every one of you. He will be missed by all but he has joined some great people in his passing. I'm sure they are all looking down on us and watching over us.

Like Phyl aid ...lets all keep in touch, you never know what life has to bring us. Stay "STRONG"!!! Love Mar

Dear Marvin, and to all of Leroy's family. I am sorry to learn of Leroy's passing. He was far to young to be gone so soon. I often remember the times we spent together in our band, or with the "Marcelletti Street Gang" My most sincere sympathy to all who have experienced this loss. Although he is gone from this earth, he will live for eternity in our hearts. I am truly sorry for your loss, Vern.

To the family of Leroy Strong, My sympathy goes out. I met Leroy three years ago when I was plowing snow. I had the privilage of working along side him in the winter of 07. He was a great man I learned so much from him. He is a person who changed my life and he will be missed very much.
