Lee will be remembered by me as self driven and no matter how down he felt i remember him getting his butt chewed by his family and doctors while we was working on the house but he was determined to get it done . Even after i caught him from fallin off ladder twice he still wanted to get it done. So finally i decided to hog ladder and let him figure out something else to do. His family friends and aquaintances you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Lee And his brother and sister use to ride the school bus with me when he lived on the black top road near Villisca Iowa. Lee was such a funny guy and made me laugh All the time. I haven't seen him since then.
In memory of Lee Link--
In your life, you touched so many.
In your death, many lives were changed.
Rest in peace

LEE: I have typed and deleted, typed and deleted. I am still at a loss for words. My heart is at my feet... Even though we were (somewhat) prepared for this day, I never wanted it to come. Knowing you went at Peace, also gives me Peace and comfort but it still isn't easy. I will miss you but I know that you will be watching over all of us, giving us strength to get through this. Rest In Paradise! Heaven is lucky to have you. Love you Brother!
TO LEE'S FAMILY: My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I Pray for your comfort in the upcoming days. Please know that I am here for you if you need anything at all. I'm sure you all know that, but Please don't hesitate to ask! Continued Prayers for you all!
