Leroy Kendle was the son of Alvin R. and Rhoda Kendle. The family owned a large livestock farm just outside of Williamsport. Leroy loved life on the farm and the outdoors. He enjoyed swimming, horseback riding and hunting. According to the school newspaper, "Leroy was a very polite, considerate person whose immaculate manner of dress reflected the refinement that was one of his outstanding qualities." He was a member of the United Brethren Church in Williamsport.
Leroy was one of fourteen Williamsport High School students killed when the school bus they were returning from a field trip in collided with an express train at Rockville, MD on the night of April 11, 1935. After the tragedy, the inhabitants of Williamsport gathered donations to build a public library in memory of the students. It still stands and is used to this day.
