LeRoy worked for many years at Kohl’s Food Distribution. He was as happy as could be while he was in his yard, whistling, gardening, drives in Whitnall Park with Dawn, his walks and of course, a cheap beer.
Oh Dad. You are very loved and will be greatly missed. Thank you for everything you did for our family. I have many funny memories but I still laugh when I stop at the stop sign in HC that I missed when you were teaching me how to drive and I went right thru and you just said, ‘That’s ok, we’ll catch it next time!’ or when I got my license and the HC officer came over to speak to you to let me know Copeland wasn’t a runway 😂 but I think my favorite is when I introduced you to Chris for the first time and you two talked forever and then later that night you called me and told me not to mess it up! Not the exact words you used but I can’t publicly share the word used. Also, I believe you were the hit at my wedding! Looking very handsome and dancing away! You were a great dad. Thank you for always bringing me the Sunday paper and gassing up my car for me too! Love you always. Kerri
Enjoyed a wonderful lifetime of him being brother and brother-in-law. Always welcome at his house. RIP Leroy. We loved you and the time we had you to enjoy ❤️
Mr. Zaeske, you were loved, and will be missed. I will always remember you riding your bike around town, and working in your yard and waving at everyone, just like the Mayor of Hales Corners would do! I will always remember you as the Mayor! Your life and love will live on in your children (particularly Kerri). So much love to your family. ❤️
Uncle LeRoy, you brought smiles to me every time I would see you walking in the village. Always reminded me of my Dad. Rest in peace now❤️
I wish I would have known. His room was ready.
