(They would have celebrated 60 years of marriage this coming June.) After Midwest Bible College, LeRoy began working at Bible Advocate Press, eventually filling the position of manager, then moving on to become Bible curriculum editor, a job close to his heart from which he never retired.

To all who were acquainted with him, LeRoy was known to be a gentle, compassionate person with a servant’s heart, a love for people and a selfless devotion to God and family. His heart for missions motivated him not only to support with funds but to spend countless hours corresponding with missionary workers in foreign countries.
