Not sure what to say?

Jay there are no words. I am sorrowful that your father has passed I always liked him he had a wonderful smile and a spark in his eye. Some of my best memories of Casey are of you and your family.

Marca, Jay, and families, I am so sad to learn of the passing of your father. He was a very special person who, over many years, comforted and encouraged others as they were grieving. Although I didn't know your dad as a close friend, I knew a personal side of him because of my friend Norma Veteto. She was always telling stories about her life long friend Lee Markwell! They were like brother and sister, arguing and laughing together. She told me of his deep love for your mother and for...

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers are with the family.

loved the video tribute to Lee so many wonderful memories for you in it.

condolences to the family

Jay & Marca - So sorry for your loss. Your dad was a wonderful man. I remember many visits with him and your mom when they came to my parents home. He was such a class act. He will be greatly missed.

May God comfort the Markwell Family in this time of sorrow and know that he is not gone, just gone on and left the biggest part of his heart here, his family, to carry on the Love he gave to you All & all the memories to cherish. My prayers of comfort and God's Love are with you All.

Now you have joined Mark. You two were the best two brothers that a girl could ever have! You taught me to dance, and you both taught me to look after others no matter who they were or what color they were way before civil rights became a term. I was so happy to be with you, Lee, to celebrate your 93rd birthday last month...and....I have visions of seeing you and Dola dancing up a storm in Heaven! Loved ya!!!
