LeRoy worked for Gosch Feed Store in Schleswig for a year, then was self-employed as a corn sheller and farmer in Soldier Township until retiring to Galva in 1990. These years also included many happy memories of collecting and restoring antique tractors and other equipment. LeRoy found special pride in his restored M.M. collection. He was a lifetime member of the United Church of Christ in Schleswig and was always ready for a good card game at neighborhood and family get-togethers. Most memorable were the large Bennigsdorf family reunions as well as Ricketts and Battle Creek euchre games.
