Connie and Punch, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. LT was a legend at Colorado Springs Sanitation. That's where my husband, George, met him. We loved and admired LT for his happy spirit. His energy and joy was a wonder. Please know that you're in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of knowing LT while I lived in the Springs and he was a great man to know. He was always the light that brightened the room with his smile and quick wit., always providing all with a good hearty laugh. I know that those that went on before him are all up there laughing and dancing, and for his family and friends left behind find comfort in knowing that he will still be there in your hearts and waiting to greet you when God has said well done to you... My deepest sympathy to his family and know that Your loved one is very much at peace.

I surely miss hearing 'Gal we gotta talk' come out of his mouth. Loved watching him dance the night away at La Jazz. He often told me how much he missed his Margie Ruth, now they are dancing the nights away in heaven. R.I.P. LT, Be Blessed.
