Following his military service, Leroy attended the University of Wisconsin Center in Manitowoc for two years where he met Laverne Meyer. They were married on August 28, 1948. He owned and operated Ziarnik's Grocery Store in Manitowoc for 13 years and held political office in Manitowoc. He later became a Sales Manager for Oscar Mayer, a position he held for 26 years until he retired in 1987.
Leroy enjoyed golfing and other outdoor sports and took great pride in his yard. He was often told that his grass "looked just like a golf course!" While he enjoyed life in his native Wisconsin, in his later years he also enjoyed wintering in Florida.
Leroy is survived by three children: Patrick (Pam) Ziarnik of Novi, Michigan; Michael (Pam) Ziarnik of Cambridge, Wisconsin; and Colleen (Steve) Haas of Appleton; nine grandchildren: Scott (Tamara) Ziarnik, Chris (Kari) Ziarnik, Jaci (Nick) Thielke, Jeff (Jenni) Ziarnik, Joe (Yolanda) Ziarnik, Ben Ziarnik, Andy Ziarnik, Kyle Haas, and Cailin Haas; and numerous great-grandchildren. Survivors also include a sister, Jeanie Wilke, of Manitowoc.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Laverne "Fuzzy" Ziarnik, his parents: Felix and Josephine Ziarnik, a brother, Edwin Ziarnik, and two sons: Gregory Ziarnik and Joseph Ziarnik.
