Not sure what to say?

I was thinking about Lee the other day.

Lee was a very good friend and colleague. We met in English class at USA in 1974. He was a skilled plumber and an accomplished sportsman. We fished and hunted together. His father Buster taught Lee to hunt, fish and enjoy good commraderie on their pier. My son Bobby was an apprentice for Lee. He was also instrumental in my marriage to my wife Sharon. I always felt a member of the Rivenbark Family. Buster, Celeste, Betty Mac, Betty Lou, Briton, Whitney & Windy will always be in my...

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Rivenbark family. Lee was a great guy who loved Battles Wharf and living on the bay. I remember fishing with him on his pier and he always said at night you never know what you are gonna catch..so bait your hook and get it wet . RIP Lee~

We will miss seeing him around the arts and crafts shows. He always had a kind word for everyone. Our prayers are with you at this time.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

My condolences to Lee's family. He was a great neighbor to my parents. The last time that I saw him was about a year ago. He came by to check on my elderly Mom. He was such a caring person. Rest In Peace. Sheila Egbert, and Nancy Wood, (P. D.)

I met Lee at Perdido River Hunting Club. in the 60's. His daddy Buster would be cooking something and having some of his "recipe". When someone would ask in the afternoon where was Lee? Lee is up in a damn tree waiting on a deer to pass by. This was way before tree stands or shooting houses were common. I would see him around and he would always strike up a conversation. He was one of the good guys and will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Loved our "coffee club" talks and the boat outing to watch the Dauphin Island race. Wonderful memories. God bless you all. With love, Jeanie and John

Lee was the king of the Nutria Rodeo in the 1960's early 70's and original "Swamp Rat". What a memory along the shores of Big Bateau with his dogs chasing nutria through the marsh.

Rest in Peace my Friend
