dear linda&family,so sorry to hear about dynamite.we love telling stories about the old days when we lived in rompotand all the crazy things we used to do. our deepest sympathy .your old friends tom&cheryl curtis
In all my memories of Dynamite, he is always smiling or laughing. I can’t remember ever seeing him with a frown. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Although we went our separate ways when we grew up, you were a very special person in my past. I will miss you and think of you often.
Now, even in Heaven, there is Dynamite.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I will never forget that I purchased my first horse from Lee Roy. “Linda” was her name and she was a beautiful paint. I pray your family finds comfort in these difficult times.
Judy asked me to send her sympathies to you and yours. She has mobility issues and no computer and doesn’t take the paper.

Linda and Family, So sorry to hear of Dynamite’s passing. I remember when I first met him standing in front of May’s drug store. Combing hid duck tail ,and wearing his leather jacket.That was about 1959. You all have my deepest sympathy..Mary Stumpff- Skowf
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I have so many memories of LeeRoy. He always had a smile and could make me laugh even when I didn’t want to but the one time that has always made me laugh the hardest is when Stacy took some fireworks that he had gotten for the 4th and gave me a roman candle. Instead of putting it in the ground I decided to hold it in my hand. Well that didn’t work out so well and I ended up blowing a hole in my hand. Stacy was so funny at the hospital and when we got back to Rompot and stopped at her house I knew exactly where she got her comical side from. LeeRoy sees my hand all bandaged up and wants to know what happened and then as anyone who knew him he was always helpful in showing you the proper way to do something. He proceeded to take us out side and show us step for step how to properly light a roman candle. Poor Stacy nor I could say anything cause everytime we opened our mouth to say something he would hold up his hand and say “no no no you don’t know nothing cause if you did Sandy wouldn’t have a hole in her hand now both of ya get back over here. I still laugh my butt off when I think about that night. He was so contagious with the laugh and that smile. He will be missed but not forgotten.
Linda and family. I’m so sorry to hear about Lee Roy. He was a hoot. I remember the first time I met him was down at the stop off. We all went there after work and he came down. He kept telling me he was going to kick my butt in a pool game. Little did he know that I played pool a few times myself. He beat him, but only on the eight. He never let me forget that. Every time he would met up with all of us after work I would have to play him a game of pool. Great guy. He will be missed by all. Lucy, you take care and know I will be thinking about you and your family. Love ya, Gorsh
Linda and family, So sorry to hear about Dynamite. He will surely be missed! Mom wanted me to let you know you are in her thoughts and prayers. Hold on to all the memories you had..they will get you through these hard times. Hugs to the family.
