So sorry to read the news. I grew up knowing Lee. He was always such a nice guy. I remember him being so proud of his GTO he bought after serving in the Army.
Hugs to his family.

I still find it hard to believe that you are gone, but I guess God needed another Angel in heaven. I know you are watching over us all, and I will see you again but until then I will keep you in my heart! I love and miss you to the moon and back.

I'm so very sorry to learn of Lee's passing. I met him when I ventured to Boardman to visit my friend Lori, Kenna and Breanna..I was welcomed with friendly hugs by Lee and Cinda, just like I was family.
I pray all of the wonderful memories provide peace for Cinda, his daughters and their families as well as the rest of his family and friends.
