Dearest Cousin Dawn and Family: Fred and I send love to all of you; pure joy, laughter - those are the remembrances I have of Lee; our WI visit five years ago, our Chicago day before that - and your California visits - these are the fondest of memories. I will remember fondly your hosting our family reunion - your graciousness and hospitality will be long cherished.
There is no solitary grief; it arouses all our most profound sympathies. As great as it is worthy, your grief is reverenced by sorrow and honored by memories.
This finally expressed will of heaven, this sudden stroke of nature, makes us all kindred spirits.
Our Guest room awaits - Love, LaVonne

I worked with Lee during his entire Wacker career. In all that time, I can't recall him ever having a bad day. He always greeted you with a smile and a warn handshake. I loved golfing with Lee, and he always tried to use my golf cart. I'll miss him greatly.

Always a smile, always a cheery hello....the void has already been deeply felt by those whose lives you touched. You touched mine for 21 years at Wacker. May you rest in peace and may your freinds' and families' saddened hearts be filled with the beautiful memories you have left them with. Thank you for the joy you blessed me with.

I enjoyed the few times I spent with Lee very much. Even interacting with him very briefly, it was obvious what a very vibrant person he was. We are thinking of all you, with sympathy and love--and I'm sure I may speak for David and Rachel's many friends in the Porcine/Book Club contingent in offering our condolences.

Please accept my deepest sympathy.
Lee's absence has left a very big void at Wacker and he will be greatly missed.
In a "John Wayne" kind of way his presence always projected reassurance and self confidence.

Unfortunately did not know Lee, but sounds like he was a great guy. He must have been to have a son like Garret.
Our thoughts are with the family at this time
