Leroy Goldberg (Founder)
Leroy was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Leroy’s mother Gertie started Skyline Flowers during the great depression. After LeRoy served his country in WWII and the Korean War, he settled in Oxnard, CA where he built a packing house and started growing flowers in 1954. He ran the business until two of his sons Joe and Tom decided to take over for Leroy. Leroy retired from Skyline in 2002, but currently goes to Santa Monica Farmer's Market every Wednesday.
He is also involved in a card game that takes place every Monday night and has been going on for over 30 years. |
