Lee Thayer

Donna, Travis, Desiree, Judy, Cameron, and all,

I am grateful for the experience of becoming close to your family. I will miss Lee's emails and great jokes. I still laugh every time I think about the one he sent about going fishing, running into bad weather, and going back to bed and snuggled up to his wife's back. When he whispered to his wife that the weather was bad, his wife replied that her stupid husband was out fishing in it. He told it as though it happened to him and said...

Lee~I haven't seen you in such a long time, but my images of you seem so fresh in my mind....laughing, sarcasm (I always had to think if you were joking or being serious..LOL), your soft & gentle voice, your everlasting smile! :) I was there when you first started dating Donna. I remember watching Travis, without a father, always helping Donna take care of his siblings (never a complaint....never). As an observer, I watched their family in their daily routines, but true "happiness" seemed...

Dear Donna, Travis, Brandon and Desiree,

I was so surprised to read of Lee's passing. I worked many years on his shift at Kimberly-Clark. He was very good at what he did. He had the unfortunate task of training me as a barup. He did an excellent job of training, but I was a dud! Donna, he always spoke fondly of you. You are all in my prayers at this time.

My deepest sympathy to each of you.

Lee, you were always so welcoming and interesting---(and funny!)--to talk to whenever we visited you and Donna; and you are so loved by our mutual granddaughters. We were lucky to have you among us. Thanks for all the memories. We'll never forget.

We are going to miss you dad. You always made such an impact on the lives that you touched... I will always be reminded of you everytime Cameron laughs or Desiree makes me watch, "Drop Dead Fred". We will miss you. - God bless

Donna and Family, I am very sorry for your loss. I always looked forward to Lee coming in, he always had a smile on his face.

Good bye ole friend who was my bar-up many years ago at Kimberly Clark before i moved up to the fourth floor, You were such a good friend and so very easy going and was such a good person and also a geat bar-up who always put out a good product for me to inspect. Judy Helms, marysville wa.

Hey Dad, I love you. I wish we had more time together. You did a great job with mom, you made her very happy and I'm very thankful to God that you came in to her life. You were a great man and your memory will be with us a long time. God Bless you Dad...

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
