Lee was a neighbor of mine (across the street) in Egypt. He was a nice man and he was involved in public service, (school board, memorial park). He would attend our baseball games when very few parents would do so. Condolences to his family.

Laurel and Family,
So sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know that your dad is at peace and happily reunited with your mom, maybe enjoying a good card game or some bowling with my parents too!

Dear Lee & Laurel,
I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your father. I pray that cherished memories will help you through these difficult times. I was doubly saddened to read that your sister, Donna (one of my very best friends throughout our high school years) has also passed. The last time I saw Donna was at my 25th anniversay party in 1992. It's so sad that we lost track of one another. We'll have a lot of shenanigans happening when we meet again in our heavenly kingdom.
Deepest Sympathy,
Bonnie (Kistler) Ruth
