LeRoy served in the US Army and was stationed in Germany from 1965 to 1967, where he found his knack for cooking. LeRoy worked at the Sioux City Foundry as a draftsman for over 40 years. He retired in 2010 but continued to work for 3 more years. He is a lifetime member of the American Legion Post 662 in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa where he served as commander, honor guard and cooked at many of the legion feeds.

LeRoy enjoyed hunting, fishing, smoking meats of all kinds, making homemade sausage and jerky, cooking and gardening. He enjoyed watching the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball and football teams, the Minnesota Vikings, New York Yankees and old-time western movies.
