Vickke,

I just learned of Lee's passing and am so sorry. It has been many years, but have thought of you both many times over those years.

Vickie and Family. Wednesday evening here in Centerville now and I was only discharged from the hospital today after a bout with the flu. I learned of Lee's passing from today's paper and remembered a lot of happy moments about him from our years at the factory and later as the man who married a first cousin of mine. Because of my week condition I will not be able to attend any of the services scheduled for him although many happy thoughts will follow me for the day. Ron Jonas

An all around good guy. A real man's man. He never said a bad word about anybody. Great sense of humor. Always enjoyed being around him. He knew how to have fun. Godspeed. Butch Sauer
