It seems like just yesterday that we were sitting in briefing at South LA and Lee was giving us an "intelligence update". Rest in peace, my friend. We miss you.

I met Mr Minikus toward the end of his journey. Though you would of never known it. He was determined with tenacity to get up and walk again! I will remember his sense of humor, snarky remarks and quick wit! He made it a joy to come to work. When he left to go home,I felt like I was losing a friend but really I gained so much more than that from him! Rest in peace my friend and thank you for reminding me what my purpose in life is for.

I worked with Lee on the Patrol. He was dedicated and a hard worker but more than that a good man. We've lost a good friend.

I will always remember the years I worked with Lee at the South LA CHP office. As a young motor officer, I highly respected and admired Lee. There was never a dull moment while partnered up with him. Rest in Peace my brother Patrolman.

You may have acted tough, but we know what a soft heart you had for those you loved. We will miss your stories and that crooked finger! Thanks for welcoming me to your family.

I had the pleasure of serving Pops and his boys almost every Thursday night at Billy McHales. He was always a joy to wait on. He treated each one of us with respect and gratitude. He liked his ribs well done, and lots of hot fudge for his sundae :) I will miss him a lot!

You were a sparkling light whenever we got to spend time with you. Loved your smile, stories, and kindness. You were such a blessing to those around you.
