Leroy “Roy” Edwin Sundberg passed away on January 20th, 2021 at the age of 82. He was battling a broken leg, lung cancer, and Covid-19 which caused complications that ultimately claimed his life.
Leroy was born in Spokane, Washington om July 12, 1938. He enlisted in the United States Army right after graduating from North Carolina High School in 1956.

He retired from the United States Army Band as a Master Sergeant and proceeded to work at the National Institute of Health as a research photographer.
Leroy was a resident of Prince William County since 1973 and a resident of Manassas, Virginia since 1996. He was a member of the Lake Jackson/Mid County Lions Club and was recently awarded the highest honor a member could receive, the “Melvin Jones Fellow” award.
