Leroy Randall, Esq.

Leroy Randall, 96, passed away on June 1, 2025, leaving behind a family who adored him. He was born in New York, New York to Betty and A. George Randall. He was a proud graduate of City College of New York (C.C.N.Y.), majoring in Chemistry. He earned his Doctor of Law degree at New York Law School at night while working a full time job. He became a patent attorney, spent the majority of his career in Washington DC working for the federal government, and retired as Chief of the Patent Branch for the National Institutes of Health. He was admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of the United States. Leroy enjoyed working with universities all over the country to further medical research. He felt his biggest accomplishment was marrying his “much better half” Libby. He and Libby instilled in their four children devotion to family and commitment to education. Leroy and Libby created warm and welcoming homes, always filled with extended family and friends. Leroy was happiest when on his boat or swimming. He was an outstanding person, kind and considerate and a real mensch.

He was predeceased by his dear brother Alan Randall, Esq., and beloved son Dr. Neil Randall and daughter-in-law Linda Zell Randall, Esq. He is survived and forever loved by his wife of 70 years Libby (née Brandt) Randall, children Gary Randall, Paul Randall (Dr. Kae Brickerd), Amy LeDeaux (Dr. John LeDeaux), and his beloved grandchildren Todd Randall, Jason Randall (engaged to Jamie Gottlieb), Glenn Randall, Yaffa Randall, Alan Randall (Rebecca DeSantis-Randall), Rachel Rivas (Ivan Rivas), Shira LeDeaux, Benjamin LeDeaux, and his darling great-grandchild Davina.

As Leroy said to Libby every night, “good night, sleep tight, wake up bright in the morning sunlight.” The part of the rhyme that he didn’t say, but actually DID every day of his life is: “and do what’s right with all your might.”
