Not sure what to say?

Sorry for your loss. Prayers with you all.

My sincere sympathy to all the family.
Lee was my friend and classmate.
He will be missed..

..... "I humbly ask in prayers that God, Our Creator, may comfort the entire Hinds Family during this moment in their life!" ..... My good friend Lee and I had worked many years at Spartan Printing even until it finally closed its doors. Many great stories, laughs and memories from just being around Lee will always be shared and treasured. Lee had touched many hearts in his life, just from his kindness alone! Lee my good friend, until we meet again, enjoy Heaven! ..... With that being...

Was a great friend to all who knew him.
He was a friendly person, funny and very out going. Always smiling and had a joke to tell. He will be sadly missed.

Lee was a very caring man who loved his family deeply and emotionally. He will be truly missed. Too soon taken but he will be waiting for us all with open arms when our time comes.

I remember Lee from grade school, same class. Got my first black-eye from him in the gym in PE class: dodge ball. So sorry to family and friends for your loss, let the good memories keep you strong and help in the days to come.

Truly a good friend, bowler and golfer

Rest easy Lee! It was always nice to sit and have a visit with you. 10-4, Good Buddy!

RIP Lee, haven't seen you for years but recall so many memories when we were growing up! You were always so funny. God bless and sincerest sympathies to your family.
