Rev. Jeneskee was one of the kindest and most dignified men I've had the honor of serving. As one of the organists of the former St. Stephen United Church of Christ, I've known Leroy over the past several decades. We remained friends long after his retirement and I admired his vivacious activity with the Island Christian Church and his dedication to his family and friends. I congratulate him on a long life well-lived and I look to the day when we can sing together again. May GOD Bless!

Fr Jeneskee or as I grew up knowing him as Uncle Leroy has been a member of our family since he and my father went to seminary together in 1960 in Lexington KY. With wonderful memories he certainly will be missed. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace and Gods light perpetual shine upon them forever.
