Louise and Leroy worked for many years for a tug boat company in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Leroy captained while Louise cooked for the men and was his ever faithful First Mate, to say the least. This went with his love for the water and her love for Leroy.
It was a truly joyous day in Heaven Thursday when those two were reunited again. Their ashes will be dispersed together as it should be in the water this spring. May God grant them both calm seas.
