Lee shared some great photos of the old Arkansas Valley Interurban Railway with me…….and I used image copies of them in a presentation to many groups in the Wichita, Newton, Sedgwick and Halstead areas.
I enjoyed talking with Lee about his interest in railroads and have fond memories of his stories.
I enjoyed my time working with Lee under his Presidency of the Wichita Chapter of the NRHS. He was soft spoken but had a great sense of humor. Highball, my friend!
I enjoyed Leroys company when I took him to Mass. I was amazed how well he could get around for his age and his mind was prettt good too. My deepest condolences to the Clerico family. Rebecca Bone. All Saints Catholic Church
Rest LeRoy, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.
Thank you for your service to this nation.
I delivered meals on wheels to LeRoy for the last year and a half every Tuesday. He was my favorite person on the route. Had great short conversations with him each time. I about fell over the day we were talking and he told me that he was 103.
My Tuesday deliveries just havent been the same since.
Rest In Peace LeRoy,

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
