To the man who had the greatest single influence in my life. Leroy reached out to a young lost man back in 1976 and shared the gospel message (multiple times over six months). And when my world was caving in around me, Leroy was there to encourage me, pray for me and guide me on my journey toward a Saving Life with Jesus Christ. I would have never gotten on my knees on that January 7th day in 1977 if he hadn't given me the hopeful message of salvation that God offers all people who sincerely come to Him. Yes, God has been faithful ever since the date of my second birth. Jesus forgave my sins, healed my mind and body, restored my marriage, gave me a purpose for living and firmly established the hope of eternal life with my savior. Leroy, THANKS -- I'll keep up the good work as long as God gives me breath of life - then I too will rejoice with you and the other great saints in Heaven. Kathy, Trent & Celeste will get through these challenging times -- for I know the Lord will sustain them, too. God bless, your friend forever, Rick Kiovsky

My prayers and condolences go out to Uncle LeRoy and family. Happy Birthday Uncle LeRoy and I know you will have a great birthday in heaven. Thank you for being such good brother to my mother Anita. She talked highly of you and always had. You were a loving follower and servant for Jesus and may you rest in peace. Love, Monica (niece), Doug and McKay Diedrich.
