Leroy Russell Godfrey

LeRoy Russell Godfrey went to be with his heavenly father on March 9, 2012 in Stillwater, OK. The son of Russell and Helen Godfrey, he was born on October 26, 1927 in Clinton, OK. He was the devoted husband of and will be met at heavens gates by his wife of 62 years, Lydia Godfrey. He is survived by daughter Terri King of Edmond, OK, son Mike Godfrey of Stillwater, OK, granddaughter Channing King Oklahoma City, OK, and many extended family members.
After 34 years of service, he retired from OG&E as the Station Electrical Supervisor. He enjoyed fishing with his wife and friends, building and working on his railroad and airplane models, and meticulously taking care of his lawn and garden. He was relentlessly available to his church and friends in times of need or if something was broken and needed LeRoys magic touch. He was explicitly the best husband, father, grandfather, and friend to all he came in contact with.
There are three things that remain faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these is LOVE.
Daddy/Poppy, your love will forever live within us. Thank you for setting such a decent moral tone and instilling your high standards in us.
