I was saddened by the news of Lee‘s passing as he was such a nice guy . I worked with him many years ago as an agent in the same office and appreciate the knowledge and professionalism that he possessed . He was willing to extend a helping hand and share his knowledge anytime.
I pray comfort for his loved ones !!!

I am at a loss for words. I LOVED working with Lee at Patterson/Latter & Blum. He was such a great person and will be missed greatly. I pray that the family finds comfort in the many people that loved Lee.
