Cheryl, My name is Tony Salvato DBA Metro Maintenance & Construction Co. Inc. We met years ago when my guys and I were doing some maintenance work at your home and the unit in Racine. I am so sorry to hear about Lee. We have had many conversations both business and personal, it was always a pleasure meeting and doing repairs for him, great guy. If there is anything that I can do for you, don't hesitate to call. I am not sure if it is appropriate or not to leave my number on here, but I can be reached via the Platford Group or your tenant Jamie. God Bless

I have known Lee for about 10 years on Beaver Island. Recently my son Brody, and I were at his home- I'm a contractor, I was looking at a project for him on his home. Brody has an interest and trains; he could see the train cars sitting on the horizontal woodwork. Lee was very patient with my son and explained his passion for trains. We were in his home for a couple of hours, by the end of our meeting he grabbed one of his train cars and said please take this for your son, it's over 100 years old. I could see his heart for children and desire to pass on his knowledge. I know this is something small, but the impression instilled in my 6-year-old will continue on.
