To all our loved ones, family, and dear, dear friends: Not a day goes by that the kids and I don't think about how much our lives have changed. There is a void in our hearts that is made just a little less by everyone's kind words and thoughtful actions. I cannot thank you all enough for your love and kindness. Stacy would be proud to know he has friends and family that are so wonderful! His loss is made just a little more bearable because of the wonderful people who lift our spirits every day!

I don't know what to say I am shocked to hear that Lee is no longer with us. I will miss him greatly as a friend, Husband and Father. But most of all I will miss him on the golf course, we had many of matches that he kicked my you now what and I did the same back from time to time.. But over all "I think I can admit it now that I think he had my number". God bless the family he left behind as Lee loved you all very much. He would always tell me about Jamie and the kids (he was so proud of them all). Lee would also tell me about his mother, I send my sympathy to you as well. Lee please look over all of us and help guide us to peace. I WILL MISS YOU LEE-BO

Please know that our thoughts are with You and our prayers are with Your Family. Sorry the Colorado Boys are just finding out now. God Bless Your's and all of Our Souls. I look forward to joining you on a Tee-Box, sometime down the road.

To Lee's Family and Loved ones, So Sorry For your Loss, Had some great times with Lee out on the Golf Course. Hard to Understand these things Sometimes, but I hope and pray that you all find some comfort, and your pain from his loss will be eased. I find comfort in feeling that he is in a good place now, and that he had a great life though taken far to soon, he had a wonderful family through which his legacy will continue, and many friends that loved him much! He was indeed Blessed, as was I for knowing him!
