"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat.
His lungs breathe their final breath.
And if what that man did in his life makes
the blood pulse through the body of others
and makes them bleed deeper in something
that's larger than life, then his essence,
his spirit, will be immortalized by the
storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory
of those who honor him, and make the
running the man did live forever."

Rest in Peace Uncle Leroy aka 10-Feezy! You will ALWAYS be a special part of my memories from my adolescent memories of you backing up Interstate 75 to stop at a rest area to my many summer visits to Hartford, CT to your volunteering to help move and drive my family and I back to Georgia from Kansas in 2005! 10-4 over and OUT!

Love you,
Demetrius, Shannon, Tyler and Colby Smith

Lamar Eberhardt, DMHAS, Director of Affirmative Action, Retired.  Leroy was co-worker whom I talked with often.  I always think of Leroy when I hear the song by Gladys Knight "Midnight Train to Georgia"
