The Leute family- Tex & Pat (Adam & Brent). Some of my fondest childhood memories were made in the presence of this amazing family. I can't help but feel saddened by your loss- Tex, as I remember him, was an amazing man. I feel lucky to have known him, as well as all of you. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.... .....When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

At this point in time words are hard to come by. Tex is in our hearts and in our minds. He was a gentleman, a great husband and father. Above all, it was great to have him as a true friend. Rest easy friend. You left a great void here, but you have filled a bigger one where you are.

Love Ben and Jan
