The last two years of Lee's life, he enjoyed a loving companionship with Merle. The family was blessed to have Maria, Denise and Clem as Lee's caregivers. Lee enjoyed his life, his business, his classic cars, car caravans, and most of all his family. Services will be private.

I will miss Lee. He was a great member of Classic Car Club .
He showed me what free wheeling was on my 32 Lincoln so I could turn it off. He probably saved my life when driving in mountains.
