Uncle Lee, I love you and miss you so much. I'll never forget all of the wonderful things that you did for me and how you helped me out through my rough patch during my teenage years. I will never forget you and I will always miss you terribly. I'm glad that I got to spend 2 weeks with you in January and another week with you in June. You have touched my life in many ways and I was very happy that I was able to be there to see you one last time in December. May you rest in peace always and forever. I love you!

Love you always,

Jessica Grady

Sandy, Nick, and Meg: I offer my thoughts and prayers during this difficult loss. Your husband and father Lee was a great man! I will always remember him gifting my first storm chasing book on the green before a football game. I had great respect and admiration for Lee, and he always treated me as an adult. He will be missed but remembered!

Dear Sandie, Nicholas, Meaghan, Charlie and the 'rest of the family'....you have our sympathy. I was a TKE fraternity brother of Lee's at Bowling Green State University and in fact, Lee was my 'pledge education officer'!! He was quite the character.... loved life, loved people, loved music, loved his Fraternity and gave all of us who knew him some of the most cherished memories of our college lives. His death saddens me, but the memories I have of Lee, will always put a great big smile on my face.

May he rest in peace and may God give you the strength to carry on during this most difficult time.
