I am so sorry to hear about Leroy’s passing. Leroy and I were best friends after High School and ran around with many young ladies and mostly went to dives
and Honky Tonks where there was dance music. If pretty little Sue “baby” Scutter was there, we would take turns dancing with her. At that time Leroy was an especially good dancer. We also spend a LOT of time on the beach. I don’t think we ever had an argument…happy-go-lucky, best friends.
