Governor Lee Sherman Dreyfus

I had the pleasure meeting Mr. Dreyful a few years ago when he was very ill. I have treated many patients over the years but no one like him. Even though he was a very ill man at that time he never lost his spirit and compassion. He always make you feel like you were the most important person in the room and would remember everything about you. He was always thanking us for caring for him- it was us who should have been thanking him.

Mrs. Dreyfus,
I am saddened to learn of the Governor's passing. Just yesterday I sat at my desk, writing a note to someone with a pen given to my mother by the Governor and you. When she died in 1993, I inherited many of the thoughtful gifts you two had given her. I remember fondly the Governor's sense of humor and approachability, his charm and wit, all wrapped up in an impressive larger-than-life political persona.

Joyce: We remember you and Lee fondly from High School and many Class Reunions. Our prayers and sympathy are with you at this time.
God Bless.

Life was sure great when Lee Dreyfus was Governor,Ronald Reagan was President,and Henry Meier was Milwaukee's Mayor. Politics sure hasn't been nearly as good since. I had the honor of being old enough to vote for them,and still consider it an honor today. May God Bless your family and always know all 3 are together again in Heaven with God our Father.

Joyce & Family. I am so sorry to hear of Lee passing. No matter how big he got he always remembered family. I have never meet a man that I enjoyed talking to more than Lee. I wish I could have been there. Take care

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Dreyfus family. Are thoughts and prays go out to you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I am a second cousin to Lee. I am now residing with my daughter in Titusville.

I had the pleasure of communicating by phone with Governor Dreyfus regarding his speaking engagement at the Minnesota Transporation Conference around 1996. I grew up and still lived in WIsconsin while working for the Minnesota Department of Transportation. During our phone conversations, Governor Dreyfus was never without a story to share and how I enjoyed speaking with him. It was such a pleasure to meet him at the conference and speak to him in person. What a wonderful presenation he...

My prayers are offered for Governor Dreyfus and his family.

I was a little boy getting a hair cut when a nice man, in a red vest, getting his hair cut across from me started chatting. We talked for a few minutes, and when he left my barber and my mother both came up to tell me that this nice interesting person was the retired governor of Wisconsin! I will always remember that he took the time to talk to a little boy who didn't know who he was.
