LeRoy A. Lorsch, 75 of Kennard passed away Aug. 1, 2018, at UNMC surrounded by his family. LeRoy was born Jan. 3, 1943, to Arthur and Marjorie (Loftis) Lorsch in Blair. He attended McCarthy Grade School and Blair High School. He worked as a drywaller in Omaha for Tompkins and E&K for a total of 40 years retiring in 2008.

He was well-known for his joking and teasing nature, being a prankster, driving around Kennard in his golf cart with his best buddy, Tuffy, and could often be found lounging on his front porch.

LeRoy was preceded in death by his companion, Sharon Rasmussen; parents, Arthur and Marjorie Lorsch, sister and brother-in-law, Bonnie and Joe Foster and brother-in-law Duane Dillenburg.
