One of my closest friends during my high school years. The humor, laughter, jokes and good times together. Yes our wonderful performance on the high school football field with Leroy Boy carrying my skinny butt over his shoulder across the field at the half time performance his wonderful rendition of the "his hunting trip with the bear and pictures of the bear" click, click,....stocking those shelves at Vans Market so we could go out driving around, a place to hide in the school to have a break. Only going to school 1/2 days during our Senior year. Bomb fires in Gohsman woods. I also remember Leroy and Larry in the accident, i was there shortly after to witness something very rare, a car cut in half and two classmates sitting in the front seat spared by god. Picking up the Smith Boys and going to the drive- inn, with them in the trunk. My old 1955 pontiac held everyone plus more. Good food from the Smith and Johnson houses. And Ma Hunkins making sure we had enough to eat at school lunch. Getting pulled over every weekend by Freddie Lapratt, wonder what he was looking for. Oh and don't forget Mr. Teller and how Special Leroy and I were. Our great vacation in the UP, in Curtis Michigan, just down from where his parents stayed, we stayed in a tent for two weeks together, now there's stories there to tell, But what happens in the UP stays in the UP. Did you know Leroy could roller skate. Yes Leroy Boy you were one of a kind, you'll be missed by friends and family, but the memories myself and everyone else will be remembered for ever and ever. God now has a new song writer, and your music will live on for ever. God bless Leroys wife, daughter and family.
