I had the pleasure of meeting Lee through work, my very first day he was already making jokes and I heard many riddles . Lee loved to make people laugh and always said he was just a big ol teddy bear. I spent 5days a week for close to 5years working alongside Lee which in my eyes makes him family to me, I will cherish the photos, the memories and try to tell the jokes he´s once told me to others to keep his memory alive. You are so loved and so missed Lee.
