My family met Lee and his family camping in Cape Anne Massachusetts around 1961. In 1963, about the time I married, my company transfered my new wife and I to Buffalo. Lee and Vi took us newly weds under their wing, gave us good advice, and became our friends, good friends. People live on through memories. Lee and Vi both live on our memories, and we feel lucky they shared part of their lives with us.

So good to talk to you.I'm so sorry for your loss.

Eileen
Although I never got to know your father and mother well I feel like I did because of my memories of the annual family reunion's in East Hickory. My Mom and other's kept me informed over the years of where everyone was and what they were up too. I was always amazed at Lee's approach to life and the good times that he had.(Also, How good a horseshoe player he was) Our thoughts and prayer's are with you.

Sorry for your loss. We'll miss Uncle Lee's sense of humor, his harmonica, his songs ("Irish Eyes, Danny Boy") his poems, ("Casey At The Bat,") his love of golf and life in general.

So sorry to hear about your father. I only got to meet him once but really enjoyed our visit at his house with him, Clarence and his Lady, Cliff and I and Cliff's mother. We were on our way to a family reunion. Linda
