To the family of Leroy Douglas, please accept my deepest condolences in the loss of your beloved, I was very saddened to hear the news of Leroy’s passing. Almost a life time ago Leroy and I worked at the Fort Peck Housing Authority around the same time this is where we had first met, and since that time I have had deep respect for Leroy and the path in life he had chosen. I will keep the family in prayer in their time of loss

Azurene Real Bird says
Leroy, you will be truly missed. I only saw you a couple times a year. But I knew when I returned home to visit and walked through the doors of the church, you would be standing there greeting me with a smile and a hug. While I was in High School I would walk up to you before church and request you to sing “What’s wrong with my children?!” and of course you would sing it so well! I am happy you are dancing in glory land now! You were a great person with the most pleasant personality.
Condolences to Cindy and the rest of your beautiful family! God Bless you all.
