Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace my brother.

The Lord is with you and your family!

Lee was a great guy who will be sorely missed by everyone he touched. I never spoke to him much this past year, being so busy with Shrine activities - which I regret with all my heart. I have never thought more of a person. Carol was his anchor in life as it will be in his afterlife.

We will miss our Monday night hamburgers as well as all the parades with Lee. We want Carole and the family to know our hearts and prayers are with them at this difficult time.
Lee will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He left quite a footprint on all the lives he touched.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Lee, Carole, their family and friends as always. Lee has always been very active and helpful with the Zuhrah Shrine Antique Car Unit, and most recently has been our Parade Captain for the last few years. Lee helped with any project or event that we were working on. We will miss him, however we are very thankful for having Lee in our lives all these years.
