Brad and Kurt,

Remember........
The things that he did to show you he cared. The sound of his voice, the wisdom he shared and the piece of advice you'll never forget. The stories he'd tell ( brings a smile to my face ) his passion, his laughter and his love.....Your dad was so proud of you both....Mattie Smith Gallagher

Oh the memories of Lee that are floating through my head. I've known Lee since I was about seven. How loved he was by his mother and father. A good son. A good American. A proud veteran. A good man, husband, father and proud grandpa. He always told me how much he adored my father who thought the world of him. My heart is so sad for all of you. RIP soldier.

I am so sorry to lose my friend. He fought the good fight and beat the odds for a long time. Rest In Peace Lee..I hope you have swamps and woods to hunt snakes and wild boar, and lots of wide open spaces to ride a Harley. You were quite a guy.
Jeff and I send our deepest condolences to Nancy and family.
