The Florida roofing industry is mourning the loss of Les Gory, who passed with his family in his home on Monday, Sept. 30 at the age of 75. He was a loving husband to his wife of 53 years, Dallas, and together they raised three sons.
A native to Miami, Gory began his career in roofing as a young boy, working at the original Gory Roof Tile Plant in Miami. Gory, the Gory family, Gory Associated Industries, Inc. and Gory Roof Tile, were active in the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Association (FRSA) and promoted the benefits of membership to all. The FRSA states the Gory family was responsible for bringing in more new members than anyone for many years. Gory was a recipient of the FRSA’s 1980 Campanella Award, its highest honor.
