To the McKee family--
I had the distinct privilege and incredible honor to work with Lewis McKee during his tenure as Chairman and CEO of Holly Farms. He was an incredible business man, gentleman and mentor. He, WL Taylor and Lee Taylor were the epitome of ethical business and personal behavior should be.

The world is a poorer place for his passing.

Your father was an adorable man that we loved very much. He was always kind and generous with his time and our children enjoyed our outings with him. They ( Joseph and Erin ) were saddened by the news of his passing. He was a fine man and a caring friend....We will miss him..Ted and Cathe Butler

I had the true pleasure of Lewis' friednship for many years in Memphis. He loved his family and friends and made his friends feel like family. His kind spirit will be missed.

Marsha, Marion, Mac, you have my deepest sympathy and may God give you comfort and strength during this time of your grief.
