Rest easy my dear friend. I will always cherish the memories of our time on the road together and the many years after; sharing laughs, food, Smithfield Ham, pound cake, hugs and good times. God Speed

Lee-Lee! (You really can´t say his name without an exclamation point...) He is so loved, and will be so missed. Wherever he went, the laughs, the fun, and the love followed. We were lucky enough to be able to call him a friend/chosen family for the last few decades. He´ll be in our hearts always. Wanda and family-we´re so deeply sorry for your loss. Jennifer, Tricia, and Ella Lynn

Lee was a life's "most memorable person." I adored him. He is beyond description, so real and true...a universal delight to everyone who knew him. I will remember that infectious laugh forever and was so lucky to have him as a friend. I will miss him until I join him. Wanda and family, I share your loss and send you much love during this ever so sad time.

Lee was a beloved family friend. He loves with his whole heart and soul. He was fun, funny and a good listener. He was as much fun walking through the grocery store as he was sitting across a lovely dinner table
I am missing him every day
