My words can not express my sadness to hear about my friend. I had the great pleasure of being his supervisor for a number of years while he worked at Ball Aerospace, in Colorado. LC supported our projects with exceptionally good engineering. I was always happy to see him walk into my office. We would often talk of our families and home activities, as well as the normal work, and I got to know him quite well. He was truly liked by all. I wish I could have spent more time with him. I can very honestly say that I have never met a nicer or more likeable man. I will miss him dearly!

Donnitta and family,
Rosemarie and I want to extend our deepest sympathy to you.
I came to work here at Ball and shortly found a new best friend.
LC was a truly unique individual and words can never express what his friendship meant to me.
May your faith support you through this sorrowful time.

My special thoughts for you at this time in your lives. L.C. was a terrific man who gave unconditionally to all, including the city of Tom Bean. His volunteer hours of being on the P&Z meant much to me and I pray that you will add this sweet memory to your already full book of sweet memories of this dear man. God bless you!
