A Tale of Two Brothers

Brothers, Wilbur (1928-2014) and LeRoy (1930-2014), were the sons of Elmer and Maymie Martin.  The Martin family was a very close-knit family.  And, as such, Wilbur and LeRoy were very close their entire lives - often living near each other.  After Wilber died, LeRoy died just a few months later.
