Shawn and the Lea family, my condolences to you for your loss. The Raleigh and surrounding area has loss also but differently. Mr. Lea a great person and very attentive to his job. I remember his noticing an error on my mother's obituary that I missed during proofing, it was caught in time for the error to be corrected before my mother's funeral. I was very appreciative for his time spent reading and catching errors before obituaries are released. It meant a lot that mother's obituary was printed with the correct information. Thanks to your father, Mr. Rudy N. Lea, Sr.
