Leroy was an icon in the quilting community. He was a kind and gentle person, and his customers came from near and far for his excellent service ~ always providing a quick turnaround on sewing machine repair, as well as fair prices on his machine inventory. While his shop and family will undoubtedly carry on his legacy, our friend Leroy will be sorely missed…….
