Hurdle Haywood Lea Jr.

I WAS A FRIEND OF HURDLE AT WESTERN CAROLINA IN1954 AND 1955, GENE PATTERSON

To Hurdle's family, I am sorry. He gave me chances no one else would have. Because of he and Rusty, I and my family are better people and better prepared for the future. Although he didn't see it he opened my eyes to a more open view of life.

Jordan please accept Sharon's and my sincere and heartfelt condolences in the loss of your dad. I didn't know him well but always had great respect for his knowledge of the industry we all loved. I could always rely on his support and could be sure that his advice was sound. I know his sudden loss will be difficult for you, just trust in GOD He will get you through. You are in our prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I was Hurdle's hairstylist for several years. He was always so upbeat and a pleasure to spend time with. He will be missed. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sara

Your father was a constant visitor in our home growing up in Jamestown. We all loved him, my four brothers, my parents and I. So sorry about your loss so soon after your mother.

May he rest in peace.

With love to all the family.

My prayers are with the family. I grew up with Hurdle and his brothers.

What an amazing man! He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I will miss his sense of humor and his generous spirit. I could always count on Hurdle to brighten my day. He had a presence like none other. My sincere condolences to his family.
