Not sure what to say?

My very first job was working part-time after school at the laundromat in Laguna. I used to call Lee, "Pitsi". My brother, Don and my father, Jack (John ) and myself lived in the house that had a dark room. My grandmother was Edith C. Marmon Evans. My father was John Evans her son. Lee, as I remember was a very kind, very joyful man.


June and I extend our heartfelt condolences and sympathies on your loss. Lee and I enjoyed good times on expeditions down roads in search of the old Route 66 and his experiences. Lee will be missed by all of us. May God bless you and your family.

Such an amazing person. My friend Dona Chess and I had the honor and pleasure to spend time with him on May 13, 2009. He was so generous and kind. We both received an autographed picture of Jeff. Love to his family. My Marmon family in Montana were related.

What a fantastic man, a true Native American, father, husband, friend. I’m forever honored to have known you, thanks to my sister, NaNa, whom you took into your fold, and showed us the power of humility. So much commending of your spirit from us in Wyoming! Rest in Paradise, King!

An American master artist, and a loving man, a dear special spirit who has graduated to another plane. He blessed us with his presence. See ya' down the road Lee.

I'm sorry to hear this, Kathy. I'll miss my old friend. I hope you and (not so) Little Leland are doing okay. Much love from here, Bob

I did not see Lee a lot in the last few years but always felt a strong bond of friendship regardless of how long it had been since we saw each other last. I will miss my friend dearly . my deepest sympathy to Kathy, Leland ,Chris and Leslie. It was a...

Maggie, I’m so sorry. Your uncle was a lovely & talented man. I enjoyed the visits we paid him when he was at Laguna or Dripping Springs. My sister in ABQ sent me the obituary.
