*Obituary
Leroy Vanderkinter was born in Manitowoc, WI. He attended Mishicot High School, graduating in 1962. On May 12, 1984, he married Florence McHaig. For most of his life, he drove a truck which was what he loved doing the most. During his later years however, (after he had a stroke), he and Flo bought some land in Otto, Texas, and raised donkeys, chickens, turkeys, and many other animals. His son and daughter-in-law, David and Stacy, lived next door to them and he and Flo were able to spend time with two of their grandchildren.
In 2000, David and Stacy bought some land in Crawford ISD and Leroy helped David prepare the land for tenancy during the two years prior to their moving. In 2003, three months after David and Stacy moved to Crawford, Leroy was told he had a brain tumor. On March 7, 2003, surrounded by his loving family, Leroy joined his Lord in Heaven.
