Not sure what to say?

bump Mr. Lee. It was my honor to get to know you. Miss you my friend.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Leroy was a great friend and always spoke lovingly of his wife and children.

As I sit in the quiet, I hear your voice and see your absence in the many places you've been. My heart and soul will forever miss you. Although you are physically no longer here and I can't see your smile, I will take it with me wherever I go and you will be there.

Vin and I will miss Lee alot..he was like a father to us for 27 years since both our dads had passed.he loved my mom and was so good to her..he loved trucks and cars and loved cleaning them...when he would come visit he would always ask if he could clean my car...of course you can! I will miss him saying "hey kid" and smacking me in the arm..lol.. we both love bacon so we'd send bacon jokes and memes back and forth... I hope Heaven smells like bacon Lee...you are missing from all of us...

My deepest of love and prayers for comfort to cover my sweet friend Peg, family and friends who will forever hold precious memories and eternal love for Lee in their hearts. I didn´t know Lee well but he was a wonderful neighbor for the brief time he and Peg lived in Florida. Lee was so kind to my son who loved talking to him about cars/trucks and thought Lees truck was the "coolest". His smile was infectious and you couldn´t help but try to match his smile right back. Peace is knowing...

Goodbye is not forever. Goodbye is not the end. It simply means I'll miss you until we meet again. Love you

So sorry to hear of Leroy's passing. I worked with him at E.B. for many years. He was also a good friend. Condolences to all his Family. sure he will be missed.

I was both shocked and saddened to learn of Leroy´s passing. He was the type of person always there to give his fellow worker a hand at work or out of work.Leroy, you were a good man!
