Lee's memory will live on for us, because of the caring, unselfish way he treated all of his family, friends and frankly, everyone he came in contact with. Lee was my friend and lived his life allowing his selfless nature to shine. House guests of theirs were treated like family and I truly will treasure my memories of Lee Carole and the lessons they taught me by the way they lived. My wife and I are happy that he is re-united with Carole and others whom have passed before him. Our prayers are with Karen, Mike, Steve and all the family.
