Leroy French

Age - 82

December 5, 2023

LeRoy Gerald French, age 82 of Grand Forks, ND, passed away on Saturday, December 2nd, 2023 at the Good Samaritan Society in Larimore, ND. LeRoy was born on February 17th, 1941 in Grafton, ND. He was the son of Edward and Natalie (Nettie) French. He attended and graduated from high school in Grafton. After high school, he had various occupations but his longest career was in the construction industry. This makes a lot of sense due to his love for the outdoors. He would spend most of his days in the summer riding his mountain bike all around Grand Forks and would take several trips to Turtle Mountain State Park. The winter months he could be found getting his exercise by walking indoors at the mall with his hand and ankle weights. He enjoyed watching football and hockey games and especially enjoyed attending UND football games where he tailgated with his brother Marvin and niece Francine. In the evenings, he would venture to the local dive bars to play BINGO, if the giveaway was worth his time. He had a way of knowing when he had a good chance of winning and his intuition turned out to be correct most of the time! He really enjoyed the quiet life he made for himself. LeRoy is survived by his sister, Elaine Novak, Grafton, ND; his brother, Marvin French, Grafton, ND and several nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents, his twin brother Lawrence, his sister Caroline, his brother Edward, his brother-in-law: Vivian Novak and his sister-in-law Geraldine French. A burial and celebration of life will be planned for late Spring/early Summer of 2024.Show more
