My thoughts are with all of you now. Lee was a good man and one of the few people I actually respected. He was a good man.

To Freda and family, our hearts are saddened to learn of Lee's death. You both were always so helpful, and caring to our family. We learned a lot from both of you. We especially love the memories of the festive Hawaiian attire for Lisa's wedding. Heaven has received a good man. Our sympathy to all the family.
