Leroy John Cates was born in Coleman County, Texas on September 20, 1918. He 
died in the presence of family on October 13, 2005 at the age of 87. He served 
in the United States Army Anti-Aircraft unit in World War II. He retired from 
Carpentry at the age of 65 after 34 years of service but remained in the Union 
for over 50 years and continued to work repairing garden equipment until the 
age of 86. His hobby was working on lawnmowers and fixing most anything. Leroy 
was a friend to everyone and always had a smile on his face. He always enjoyed 
spending time with family and friends. He was eager to help people in any way 
he could. He worked hard his entire life to provide his family with everything 
they needed and more. We are certain he is happy to be reunited with his wife 
Glenda who he missed very much. He was a great Father, Grandfather, and Friend 
that we are all going to miss. Leroy was preceded in death by his wife of 28 
years, Glenda Cates. His daughter and son-in-law, Nicole and Eric Faller; his 
son and family, Keith, Karyn, Kymber, and Zac Cates; his son, Neil Cates; his 
brothers, Bill Cates and Vernon Hennesay; sister, Earlean Hennesay; and his 
sister-in-law Joanne Brunn survive him. Funeral Services will be held at 
Hillcrest Memorial Park on Wednesday October 19, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. There will 
be a viewing for those interested on Tuesday October 18, 2005, from 4-8 p.m., 
at Hillcrest Memorial Park.
