Dear Rina and family, 
I was very sad to learn of Leroy's passing. Although I didn't know him well, Leroy always seemed to be an acknowledged presence in any conversations at Sara's place. You will miss him so much. 

My thoughts are with you.

The first time I met Leroy was in La Paz County Campground. We had just arrived our first time knowing absolutely no one besides my brother and sister  in law. I stepped out of the camper with my dog and there was Leroy he had been fishing he  came over and we had a conversation. That convinced me we had made the right move. Jack,
 Leroy and Rina became fast friends with their music. I will always remember the smiles of both Leroy and Rina They could light up a room. So sorry to hear of his passing he was a good friend.

Good memories of Uncle Leroy every time we were able to get together, easy to smile when you are around him. 

Our deepest sympathies to Rina & family.  We were saddened to learn of Leroy’s passing.  We miss seeing Leroy & Millie on their walks.  Keeping you all in our thoughts & prayer’s.

Leroy's inspiring teaching skills led many of his Kelsey students to long careers in the resource field including me.  My thoughts go out to all his family and friends.  The fishes of the world will miss him too.  



Condolences to Leroy's family, friends and former students. I was one of his many students in the Renewable Resources course at Kelsey Institute in Saskatoon, 1974-76, and appreciated his rapport with us and his passion for fish, wildlife and the outdoors. I saw too little of him over the later years, but will always have the memories and knowledge he shared.

My sincere condolences go out to Rina and the entire Royer family. May your happy memories of Leroy sustain you through the days ahead. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

Our deepest sympathies and prayers to Rina and the Royer family. Leroy was my carving mentor the class he did with me and few friends in 1998 ignited a passion in me that is indescribable. Leroy had so much knowledge and passed it on with such accuracy and excitement; yet with such patience. I grew to have the ultimate respect for Leroy, he continued to look at the carvings I had done with excitement and always providing mentoring to encourage improvement. Even the last time I saw him I showed him pictures of my latest project and a smile came across his face and he still had those encouraging words. Forever thankful and grateful for Leroy, I’ll remember you always, Rest In Peace my friend. 

 Rina, my  thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.  I shared so many laughs and good times with Leroy over the years.  Someone so special and talented will not be forgotten.  Leroy was a true gentleman.



We are so sorry to learn that Leroy has passed away. 
We were just remembering exchanging cantaloupe seeds with him back in the early 2000s as this year's batch of seedlings germinate.
Our condolences to all the family


Our deepest sympathy to all Leroy’s family and especially Rina!  My husband luc and I were lucky to be students of Leroy while he taught at Kelsey in the late 70’s.   He instilled in us both a love and passion for  the environmental world and that has guided our work for the past 40 years !!  I was also privaliged to work with Leroy and his influence on me was great !  I saw his love of family and friends and love of his children balanced with pride of work and that has never left me !   Along the road in life we meet individuals that are so captivating and instrumental in our lives , that change happens to us in positive ways just by watching and experiencing their essence ! Leroy was one of those people ( as is Rina). We thank you for all you have done on this earth , we know you have made an impact in many ways and we know that the world is a little less brighter with your passing!  Rest in power Leroy !!  
Sincerely.   Susan and Luc Delanoy 

My deepest sympathy to all the family. I met Leroy when I was teaching his grandchildren piano in Grasswood. He loved spending his winters down south in his trailer. 
May God give you the strength during this sad time and help you in grieving
