I thought highly of L.M. (as he was called then) in the late '40's when he was the Scoutmaster of Troop 77 in Daytona Beach. Since that time, I have continued to use him as an example of the proper way to conduct my activities and life. I am sure he will be missed by all those whose life was touched by him.

We met Lem and Lea in Stuttgart, Germany in 1955 and have remained friends since then. We are saddened that he has left us, but know that he is happy, being reunited with Lea again. Our deepest love to Chris, Stacey and families. We love you and will miss your dad as we miss your mom.
