It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leroy Phillip Jamison, who departed this life peacefully at his home in Ontonagon on May 8, 2025, at the age of 89. Born 11-15-1935, to parents Walter and Minnie (Roehm) Jamison.
Leroy married Catherine (Dairo) on October 15th, 1960. Leroy worked at the Paper Mill for a time and then began working at the Red Owl. He then went to Pats IGA and after 26 years he retired at the age of 82.
He enjoyed sitting outside, watching the birds, spending time at the campground, following Ontonagon Gladiator sports, walking his dog Bello and loved his Green Bay Packers. He was a very proud dad, grandpa, great grandpa and great-great grandpa and loved to share the accomplishments of his family, no matter how small with anyone who would listen.
He will always be remembered in our community as a kind man, always smiling, happy, helpful and always took the time to stop and talk a minute or two, brightening the day of many. He was a friend to all that knew him.
