Grandpa,
I will miss our great fun playing cards and teasing one another. I'm glad Dean took Norma, you, and I to see Branson. It was an awesome week we shared.
I was very blessed to have a father in law as great, and special as you were. I will miss you greatly.
You were loved by your wonderful family and so many people.
May you rest in peace now.

I have wonderful memories of Uncle Lee, Aunty Norma, and their family that I will cherish forever... Uncle Lee burning more matches than the tobacco in his pipe, the go-cart, that darn sheep, sucker fishing, Aunty Norma frying up fresh suckers, the fish boils, and all of the hunting adventures. I keep wondering what Uncle Lee and my dad, Al are up to now that they are together. I wonder if they told their mom the truth yet about how the roof was damaged on the car that she spent hours sewing back into place. I will miss Uncle Lee's smile, laugh, and humor. With love and respect to my Uncle Lee, Aunty Norma, and his family.
