Lee was such a great friend to my family. Anytime I needed to ask questions about mom and dads medications he was right there for me. Taking care of parents is hard, but Lee always helped me, and his kindness will always be remembered. He was like family. He had a big heart for everyone. Lee we will always remember you and your love for life. Fly high my friend, you've earned your wings. God Bless
