Leroy -> LeRoi

I've changed "Leroy" to "LeRoi" in both the lead and infobox. For more than a decade, our article has used "Leroy", initially with IMDb as its source, later with no source at all. I cannot find a single reliable, third-party source to verify "Leroy". Per BB, I've modified his middle name, and not added a source. The reason is that I found two unreliable sources (both primary and user-generated) that I considered reliable enough to have made the change, but not reliable enough to include - even with "primary source inline" tags. The sources are Ancestry.com ( here; account required) and Findagrave.com ( here). If I had to guess, probably an (IMDb) editor heard - instead of read - his middle name somewhere. -- 2001:1C06:19CA:D600:6050:8C06:DA00:38A7 ( talk) 06:55, 20 August 2023 (UTC) reply
