Lee was such a big part of my mother's (Shirley Knoblock) life as well as the whole family. He was family to us. Lee was very intelligent and respectful. Ray and Arlene Cookston, my mother and him were always frequent company. The trips they took to Vermont was always a yearly travel adventure to them. I hope they are together there now. You will be missed and always remembered Mr. Lee Dicken.
