Not sure what to say?

LTCOL Fanucchi was my squadron Commander at K.I. Sawyer A.F.B. MI in the early '70 's. Assigned to the 410th Munitions Maintenance Squadron (MMS) in Building 740. He was an inspiring charismatic leader with infectious enthusiasm. He has impacted me for the greater part of my life and career. There was none better.

May God bless and keep all your family and loved ones strong in this time of such sorrow . We want to thank you cousin Ledio for all the wonderful advice you gave us in gardening. We thank you for helping host so many luncheons and reunions at Yosemite Falls and Kearney Park. We already miss your wonderful smile and kind heart. God will bless and keep you! Ciao until we meet again!

I learned so much at Lee's side as I was studying to become a Master Gardener. He is "Mr. Tomato" in my mind forever. Lee was a kind, wise and giving soul whose life will be remembered by many.

I always enjoyed the classes he taught at The Garden of the Sun.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. We know how much he will be missed.

A great guy and gardening friend!

Lee was a very giving master gardener and friend to me and my family for many years.
