Upon moving to Plainville, LeRoy went to work in the oilfields on a pulling unit. He worked his way up in the industry, and in May 1992, he began working for Kansas Fishing Tool, Inc. of Great Bend, Kansas as a Senior Field Supervisor. He was very knowledgeable, enjoyed the work, and was well respected by his peers and co-workers.
