I love my uncle, Lee. I've loved and looked up to him my whole life. He always brought a smile to my face. Some of my many happy memories included kidded and played with us in the lake or the pool or just horsing around Grandma Junes house. He would fondly greet me with a "YOU TOAD!" in his deep voice. LOL, still makes me smile. :) Kitty

I didn't know Lee too well, but what I did know and remember, he always treated us well. We knew Lee through BTW and the yearly get togethers in Madera. Prayers go out to Carolyn and his family

I have the pleasure of knowing Lee and Carolyn first as neighbor's and as friends. He always had a smile and a wave as I walked by he and Carolyn taking their Rocky out for his dog walk. He will be missed by all of us that knew him. My heartfelt condolences to you Carolyn and your family.

Lee has been my brother in law for over 50 years. We had a lot of good times and made so many memories. There were times he lived with his brother Larry and I and we did have good times. Many summers we spent a week in a house boat on the Colorado river lakes with all the kids and had so much fun. I will miss him but know that he is with his mom and brother now and will watching over us all. RIP my brother.
