Not sure what to say?

Carole, So sorry to her of Bud's passing. You are in my prayers. Love ya

Dear Carole (& Family) --

We have lived down Collier from you & Bud since 2002. First met the 2 of you when my 3 kids were small at your garage sale. I must say that Bud struck me as a fine, friendly, easy-going man. (You were obviously his sweetheart!) My oldest, Ryan, helped you put Bud in the car when illness demanded that he go to the hospital that last time. Ryan was very honored to help. Please let us know if you need anything. Meanwhile, may God give you & yours strength...

Buddy and I went to Feitshans. We ran around together during our high school years. We join the Navy on June 10, 1959 and went to boot camp together. He went his way and I went mine. But our paths crossed three or four times during the first four year. He GOT OUT OF THE NAVY AND I STAYED IN. I THINK OF lee alot. I will miss him very much.

Im going to miss those fish frys in September.

To Lee's Family;
My heartfelt condolences to you all.
40 plus years ago I began work at CWLP, being assigned to Lee's crew along with Carlo and Ed. What a blessing that turned out to be. Not only did I learn the job from some of the best but also some good life lessons. Lee really did care, about the job, family and friends.
I will miss you around the neighborhood as you always stopped and chatted. Your friendship is treasured and will always be remembered.
Be at...

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

RESPECTFULLY,

JUDY GORDON

Lee Harton's Family,

I was a classmate of Lee's at Harvard Park Grade School and Feitshans High School. Although I haven't seen him since High School I remember him as a fun guy to be around. I'm posting a 4th grade picture that the family may not have. Contact me if you want a copy. Lee is in the front row kneeling, 5th student from the left.

My condolences to the entire family.
