Mr. LeCrone was born on December 19th, 1936 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Pauline (White) and Donald LeCrone.  He earned his Bachelors and Masters in Business Administration from the University of Oklahoma.  This is where he met his wife Carolyn.

Mr. LeCrone retired in 1992 as the Deputy Director for Systems Development and Maintenance, where he oversaw automation development activities for issuing U.S. patents and trademarks.   
Mr. LeCrone was a longtime member (1967) of Tantallon Country Club and played with  the Senior Men’s Golf Association (SMGA). He was also a member of the unofficial golf group known as the “Wet Shoes”.  Mr. LeCrone loved the Washington Redskins, and as every fan he held out hope that this would be their year. He loved reading, playing cards and doing sudoku puzzles.  Tantallon neighbors know him best from seeing him enjoying a glass of wine with his wife in the evenings by their pond.
