Lee...Gunny...you inspired me to be everything I became in the Corps. You were the best recruiter I could have ever asked for, and later on when we met up in the fleet, you still had my back. You will be greatly missed by all who knew you. We'll meet up again one day...until then, I love you, and please shine down on your beautiful daughter.

"Gentle giant"..Thank you for being my Rock and always there for me after my love and one of your brothers left us last year. Who knew, you'd be meeting him so soon in a better place, as you'd say. You will be missed terribly but will always be in my memories/heart...I know you don't want us to be sad but go on being the best we can be and remembering your words "We may not get it, but it is what it is". God bless you and all those you left behind.

Lee and I served together for 4 years. We started in November 1990 for Presidential Honorguard service at Marine Barracks 8th and I and on to 1st Battallion 9th Marines. Our Batallion Landing Team responded after the Black Hawk Down incident during Operation Restore Hope and Operation Continue Hope in Mogadishu Somalia. He was a great friend and a true Marine Warrior. I will always continue to keep his memory alive by telling the funny stories of our great times together. Lee will be sadly missed by many. The B Company body bearers are raising your soul to heaven brother. God bless and Semper Fi.
