It is so sad to hear about our dear friend Lee. He was the best man in our wedding. Randy always called him my best friend. They grew up together in PA. and later worked with each other at National Perforating in Clinton for well over 20 years. Rest in peace Lee, you are forever remembered more as a brother, then a close friend. Our love, prayers & sympathy to all the family, Myra & Randy.

Jean and I are so sorry to hear of Lee's passing. His kind and generous soul shines through in the photo you chose to use here.
I knew Lee for over 40 years. May he rest in peace in the arms of God. May many wonderful memories of him bring some comfort to you all during this most difficult time.
