I knew the younger Donald Lee. He loved hunting and fishing in the areas around Sweetlake. In later years, he was found helping with the bee equipment and the honeybees at Clyde's place. Sure he will be missed by all that knew him. Prayers for the family during this difficult time. May the Lord comfort you and walk with you.

Worked extracting in the honey house with Don, and he had taught me a French phrase, “chaque dernière goutte,” that meant use every last drop or every last drop is good. It meant to use every bit or get every bit of the honey. He was always kind and had a good sense of humor. He will be missed. Live life to it’s fullest and get every drop out of it.
Love you, and my prayers are with you.
