Leroy "Roy" Waite, 83, of Conneaut, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 27, 2025. He Born on December 15, 1941, in Erie, Pennsylvania, Roy lived a life marked by dedication—to his family, his country, and his work.

A proud veteran of the United States Navy, Roy served his country with honor before embarking on a long and successful career as an engineer. He worked for 25 years with Transplastics and later retired from Molded Fiber Glass (MFG), where he was known for his strong work ethic and attention to detail.

On September 19, 1997, Roy married the love of his life, Brenda (Bennett) Waite. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared memories. Roy enjoyed spending time with his friends and was an active member of the Conneaut Eagles Lodge #408 and the West Springfield VFW Post #4965, where he found great camaraderie.

At home, Roy took tremendous pride in his yard. Whether planting flowers, mowing the grass, or working on landscaping projects, he found joy and peace in caring for the land around him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Brenda Waite; his children, Greg Waite and Greta Krah, both of Wesleyville, PA; his stepsons, Michael O'Brian of West Springfield, PA, and Billy O'Brian of Erie, PA; and his cherished grandchildren, Wyatt and Wade Casbohm.

He was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Dennis Bennett.

In keeping with Roy's wishes, no public services will be held.

Roy will be remembered for his loyal spirit, friendly nature, and deep devotion to those he loved. He will be dearly missed.
