I too remember Lee! Always smiling and happy! We had many wonderful moments and I am saddened by this news and for his family! May his memory sustain you and bring you joy! With admiration for a young man he always looked on the bright side of life! I was happy to see Lee about 15 years ago in Springfield ata grocery store. It was as if we were back in high school - such a nice man!

It's sad to see we lost another great classmate. We are still too young to lose so many. Lee always had a smile in his heart. God bless him and his family.
