Not sure what to say?

I've tried to post prior *earlier today-and while I think I'm pretty good at posting... it appears I flunked.

That was not a problem was Mr. Lea. He was Father (Thomas L. McVerry) at Rexham Corp. I cannot say enough to convey how wonderful this Man *and Mrs. Lea - influenced my life in a Very Positive Way.

Mr Lea was my Father, Thomas L. McVerry *who passed away in 2018 - Mr. Leas was his Boss. He was the kindest Man. He lived on the other side of the Carmel Golf Course from us.

Scott Lea was my mentor as I served as Chairman of the Johnson C. Smith University - Board of Trustees. As a dedicated Trustee and Trustee Emeritus, Scott served with the utmost integrity, dedication, and commitment. The warmth of his bright smile and commanding voice will always have a special place in my heart.

Loved Mr. Lea and mourn for the entire family. He was a true gentleman, brilliant, humorous, outgoing, kind, and a born leader. He was always so wondeful to me, and it was an honor to know him. Much love and prayers for Scott, Nancy, and Mark and their families.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Lea's passing. I had the honor of serving Mr. Lea his family and guest for many years at Quail Hollow Club and in recent years greeting him every morning at the Harris YMCA. He will be missed.
