Dear Doris,

It is difficult to put into words just how much of an impact that Lee had on so many lives. I have had the great pleasure of meeting Lee and a finer Gentleman would be difficult to find. Members of Rolling Thunder FL8 share a meal and fellowship each month with the Ex-POW Group from Volusia County and I can tell you that these MEN are the FINEST that our country has ever had. Lee will be missed....That smile will be missed....and I can only say 'Rest In Peace Lee Jenks' Your job here is done. John R Trask - President Rolling Thunder FL8

Dear Doris, I was saddened to read of the death of your husband Lee. He was an amazing man and I am so glad that he survived WWII POW status to make a special life with you. May Lee now rest in God's peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Deb Kenneda exPOW RVSR

A truly great man, not just to family but to many,many more. A man who loved and lived life to the limit. A man who went though more at a young age than more people have ever thought of. A man whose love for his wife was second to none and a inspiration to many. A man whose smile would light up a room. A man who touched more lives than he will ever know. May he rest in peace with the many more that went before him. My memories will never fade. God Bless Lee The Boscardin Family
