How I will remember Leroy Sievers

When someone passes away, it affects us.

Leroy Sievers’s public persona as reflected in his  blog (NPR)  and previously in his newsletter (Nightline)… was not all that different from who he was as a boy. My fondest memory of Leroy is watching him react and cring when his sister would refer to him by a pet family name… “baby Leroy.” He was the youngest of four with three older – and I am told – ‘wiser’ sisters.

Leroy Sievers was born in 1955 in this remarkable family… most remarkable in producing my wife Laura.

Here are a couple pictures from some long gone days that I hope will make you smile:

I seem to remember that Leroy ( about age 25) pretending to not remember what kind of beverage I was serving him.

Leroy, Kristin and Laura each studying the other.

There is never enough time….. Goodbye, Leroy
