He was a really great guy.
Story
Several years ago, My wife I worked part time at Irvine Meadows backstage, so we could go to shows free. I have a real job, I just did this one summer for fun.

The year I worked there the Dave Mathews Band played. I didn't really know a lot about them. My wife and I got to met the whole band while they were backstage.
One thing you should know that Irvine Meadows is not build for handicap people. It is about a half mile from where you park to your seats. In order to help they have golf carts to shuttle people in need. The carts go through the backstage area to avoid hitting people.
Why is this important today? LeRoi was hanging out near where the carts dropped the people off before they get pushed back out into the crowd. He was helping the people get their stuff and talking with everyone. Many people that don't know the band (caterers and police and others that hang out backstage) thought he was with the cart company. Until he started letting people from the carts play his flute. Now I have seen many professional musicians in my day and never have I seen one let a stranger play with his instrument. The whole band was like a bunch of old friends to everyone they met that weekend. Great people all.
