Leroy “Elroy” Goroski, age 57, of Glendive, passed away on Friday, February 3, 2017 at the Glendive Medical Center in Glendive.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Silha Funeral Home of Glendive has been entrusted with the arrangements.
Leroy was born on March 3, 1959 in Glendive, to parents Larry and Marion (Carlson) Goroski. He grew up and went to school in Glendive, and graduated from Dawson County High School. Leroy worked several jobs during his life being employed by Trail Star Casino, the railroad, Crisafulli Pumps, McDonalds, Sur Transport, and cleaned at the Eastern Montana Veteran’s Home in Glendive.
Leroy enjoyed artwork, hunting, fishing and golfing at Cow Patty Links. He very much enjoyed mowing the golf course and keeping up the county fairgrounds parking area wearing out several weed eaters. The highlight of his year was Saint Patrick’s Day where he wanted to be mayor for the day. In fact he often referred to himself as the mayor of Intake while paddlefishing. He loved music and played in several bands. Leroy had a passion for dogs and loved every dog that had the pleasure of making his acquaintance.
Leroy was preceded in death by his parents, Larry and Marion; and grandparents.
Leroy is survived by his two brothers, Doug (JoAnn) Goroski and Mark (Toni) Goroski, all of Glendive; nephews, Kevin (Julia) Goroski, their children, Hailey and Kody of Butte, Bryon Goroski of Colstrip, and Eric (Charlotte) Goroski of Bozeman; niece, Amanda (Jake) Hartwig of Watertown, South Dakota; and close friend, Tami Lee.
