Lee, you were the best thing that happened to my sis. You took on a lot and handled masterfully. Thanks for being a part of our family. Give Carol a hug from us. You will be missed.

I met Mr Minikus toward the end of his journey. Though you would of never known it. He was determined with tenacity to get up and walk again! I will remember his sense of humor, snarky remarks and quick wit! He made it a joy to come to work. When he left to go home,I felt like I was losing a friend but really I gained so much more than that from him! Rest in peace my friend and thank you for reminding me what my purpose in life is for.

I worked with Lee on the Patrol. He was dedicated and a hard worker but more than that a good man. We've lost a good friend.

I will always remember the years I worked with Lee at the South LA CHP office. As a young motor officer, I highly respected and admired Lee. There was never a dull moment while partnered up with him. Rest in Peace my brother Patrolman.
