Sending our love, prayers and deepest condolences to Patsy, Scott, Tanya and JT. We know how dearly LeRoy was loved and we know how much he will be missed. We will always remember the great times we had at the Ochs Bros. Hereford sales for several years. We remember how LeRoy was so disgusted one year because a 'darn' buzzard ran into his pick up grill and delayed their trip to Colorado. How we first met at one of those sales and at the dance; when Kelly was being goofy because, "Nobody knew us out there" and Leroy laughed and laughed at Kelly's silliness. How we always compared notes on our 'best' bulls...even though we were buying and they had only come to look. How they opened their home to a wayward Iowa couple for a fabulous dinner and then waited over a hour (or more) for us because we over-slept and then they didn't complain one bit. Even though we weren't traveling to Gunnison anymore, it always warmed our hearts to think of our friends down south. We were honored to have been a small part of your lives and we will truly miss him too. God Bless you all. What an awesome man he truly was!
