LeRoy Dubois
LeRoy Dubois, age 81, unexpectedly passed away on January 1st, 2024, at his home in Burlingame, California - he will forever be in our hearts. LeRoy was born on December 12th, 1942, to Dunice and Kathleen Dubois in San Bruno, CA. He was one of six Dubois children.
During his early life, LeRoy enjoyed being at the racetracks with his father who was a jockey. He was a natural athlete and enjoyed playing sports at a young age, which included basketball, football, and baseball. Making friends even at an early age was also something that came easy for LeRoy. He attended Serra High School in San Mateo and graduated in 1961.
LeRoy briefly attended the College of San Mateo and later served in the Army Reserves in the 1960's in Monterey County. During his early adult life, LeRoy lived in San Francisco and later moved to Mill Valley to start a family with his former wife, Nancy. There they raised their only daughter, Christy. He later returned to his childhood roots and moved back to the Peninsula.
LeRoy found a lot of pride, dedication, and enjoyment working in the construction field over his lifetime. While living in Mill Valley, he built the second-floor addition of his home, which was one of his greatest and most humble accomplishments. LeRoy earned his contractor's license and started his own drywall company - LNC Corporation. After closing his company in the early 2000's, he went to work as an estimator and project manager at RFJ Meiswinkel in San Francisco for almost 22 years. He continued to work full time right up to the time of his passing.
LeRoy enjoyed traveling, skiing, fishing, and sailing. These interests took him to Europe, Micronesia, Cuba, Michigan, Encinitas, Tahoe, Mexico, and several Super Bowls During his later years, he mostly enjoyed time vacationing in Mexico. LeRoy was also a lifelong San Francisco 49er fan, an avid reader, a history buff and he always enjoyed good food and drinks.
LeRoy cultivated many, many close friends throughout his life. He made a conscious effort to spend time with the people he cared about the most. LeRoy often presented as quiet, a man of few words, but his incredibly kind, generous and caring ways as well as his infectious laugh and smile will be forever remembered by those who knew him best.
LeRoy is preceded in death by his younger sister, Elise. He is survived by his beloved daughter Christy, son in law, Steve, his grandson, Jack, his brothers, Dion (Ida), Jim, Ron (Kathy), his sister Marion (Murray), nieces, nephews and many close and lifelong friends.
