Rest in peace Uncle Leon. You will be missed. I love you.

Jimmy was a very dear friend and probably the nicest one I had. A very good person. Hadn't seen him in a few years but did talk on the phone a couple times since I left Pontiac. A good musician too. I will miss him. My condolences go out to his Son's, and his whole family. May God be with you all. And may God bless your soul Jimmy RIP.

Romans 12:15
I’m mourning with you all. There is no pain that heaven can’t heal. My prayers are with you. We are one

I thank God for giving me a Brother who I always looked up to for his strenght, dedication and Love for his family and friends. I called him Lee. He was truly respected by many. A great Father and Grandfather. He Loved music whether playing or listening. When I arrived in Michigan and watched and listened to him and his Band rehearse and perform, it inspired me to want to do the same. I will miss our long conversations and get togethers especially at Thanksgiving and other holidays. No more...
