I was honored to call Lee a friend and co-worker. Lee always had a joke ready to lighten a mood or a fishing story to tell. First work and now the world won’t be the same without you. Rest in Peace Lee
Mary, We’re so sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. We thought of him and you often and wondered about how things were going. We both looked forward to seeing you all again. I’ll never forget the laughs Lee got out of watching you be pulled around the property in Oklahoma in the back of the horse trailer at your wedding. and how he enjoyed teasing Mindy about “Her” saddle. Lee was a very super nice guy to me and I will miss him dearly. We Love you and will be thinking of you. You take care of yourself and we will see you again. Love Ya, Roger and Fawn Bartzen.
Words can’t express your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mary and family. Will always treasure the memories we have of Lee. He will live on in your heart and all the memories you and him made together Mary. Rest in peace Lee. Bill and Linda Jurey
