Our family has many fond memories of the Dorman family and are saddened by Lee's passing. We were a part of the company, as our father was the sales manager for Dorman Products some 40 years ago until his passing. My sisters Becky, Debbie and I also spent summers working for the company in high school and college. And, of course, we were fiends with Lee, Ruth and their family. Our prayers and condolences to Lois, Adria and LeAnne at this time.

I shared this notice with my father "Zip" Ferriel and he wanted to convey the following to Lee's family. I had many wonderful memories of playing golf with Lee. Monte Coffman, Chip Kane and myself would go for long week-ends to Westfield Center for golf. We played every week in the summer at Terrace Park and then we would go to Camargo occassionally. Then I also played with him in Naples. He was a wonderful person and great friend. My thoughts and prayers to his family. I am two months shy of age 100 and I frequently remember all those wonderful times. Zip
