This entry is made with appreciation and honor that comes from knowing "Uncle Lek". He welcomed me and my children in the family and made a point to get to know his great grandson Khyron (my son) in the short time that he knew him. He kept a smile on his face right up until the last time I saw him and I will always remember it because it was the same smile he had whenever he walked into a room. You all were blessed to have a wonderful, loving, and caring father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. You will be in my prayers and Uncle Lek will definitely be missed by many.

Stay strong and seek comfort from one another.
