Living His Dream
Leroy grew up on a farm in Missouri and went to a one room school. After high school, he graduated from the University of Missouri in Animal Husbandry and Journalism. He also achieved a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture.
He served in Korea as a special agent, U.S. Army Counter-Intelligence Corps.
Leroy says there are only four things he ever wanted to do; sing, sell, write and raise livestock. He is living his dream.
He wrote, “Auctioneer”, and it became a smash number one hit. He joined Ozark Jubilee, and the Grand Ole Opry. He had another million seller with, “Walk on By”. He is the only Country performer to open a show for Marilyn Monroe. He has not missed a performance in over five decades.
He is an author, raises Arabian mules, and is a member of the Auctioneering Hall of Fame.
