The family of Robert Clinton LeRoy has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Bob was born on 15 July 1929 in Honesdale, Pennsylvania and entered into Eternal Rest on 08 January 2020.
Bob was in the U.S. Air Force from 1950 to 1954, serving during the Korean War. Included in his awards/citation was the National Defense Service Medal and Good Conduct Medal. During his enlistment, Bob served with the 91st Fighter-Bomber Squadron as a Supply Specialist. At the time of his honorable discharge as a Tech Sergeant, Bob was at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey.
After the military, Bob graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor’s Degree and worked as an Electrical Engineer in Aerospace for thirty-five years.
Bob enjoyed golfing, bowling and motorcycles. He also managed "Royal Family Kids Camp".
Bob’s passion in life was his faith and he was a parishioner at Living Truth Christian Fellowship in Corona. His wife, Nadine, is currently in a nursing facility to help manage her dementia and so Bob spent the other portion of his day visiting his wife.
Bob is survived by his wife of fifty-six years Nadine; his children Alan, Glen, Theresa, Boni, and Holly. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
