I only met him once but he was a good man:

Wow! Was not expecting that today. I am sorry for your loss. Never met him in person, but liked his posts. Seemed like an OG egghead, super nice and always willing to share.
Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

Chicken was an outstanding producer.One of many.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

Heartbreaking news, but also happy that he's free from suffering.
Knowing Leroy, he's probably somewhere throwing down good eats on a mini, and welcoming others at the Big Eggfest in the Sky.
Egg on, Spring Chicken.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
I remember from Leroy's old posts when they would go on vacation and leave the "girls" at the chicken coop to hold down the fort, always looked forward to the post vacation reports. Missed his posts after he and Judy moved some years ago. Truly one on the "Cool Dudes" on the old forum and this one. Like Ron said a very sad day.Rick in Tampa

I haven’t been here in years but I remember him well. I’m sorry to hear this.Egging on two larges + 36" Blackstone griddle

For a chicken, he was a "hoot" to be around at eggfests. He will be missed. My prayers for Judy and family.

Thanks Ron. Always looked forward to his cooks and write ups. I always thought he assumed the name Spring Chicken because he lived in Spring, TX before moving to LA.LGBE-1999, MBGE-2003, SBGE-2007

Thank you for sharing. That was an extremely well done obituary.RRP said:Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL

I like how you get a great sense of his personality from that obituary. You can tell he really lived life to the fullest.RRP said:"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
That’s the best obituary I’ve ever read. RIP Spring Chicken

I’m very sorry to read of Spring Chicken’s passing.He was always kind and supportive to a new egger like me - with a personality that set the stage for all of us to loosen up and not take each others’ differences so seriously…Large BGE and Medium BGE
