    Shirley and family,

    I am at a loss for words in hearing of Lee’s passing. He was the finest of men…thoughtful, generous, loyal, and full of laughter and joy. I will always have a spot in my heart and an eternal feeling of warmth and joy when I think of him. He treasured life and loved and was deeply loved by many. I will look forward to rearranging your things in heaven Lee and getting that look from you…peaceful journey my friend ?

    Shirl, David…We’re just as shattered as you are. Lee was our lifelong friend, a great guy. Many great times we’ll always treasure. Our Saturday night card games, the boys racing RC cars, guys golfing, the fair days, travels, all done with Lee’s good nature and a laugh. We’ll miss you good buddy.
