I worked with Lee for five years. Je was a colorful man and will be missed by many.
ReplyDeleteLee was one of the best. I will always remember sitting in Chief Granchamp office trying to tell him why I took a bus load of Airmen to the the bar. At the time SMSGT Liddy said don’t blame him, I told him to drive. Lee took all the heat. I had asked Lee for the keys to the bus to take a bus load to the bar. His words were “only if I can go with you all”. We laugh about that for a long time. That’s the only story I can put on here. Through my 30 years of service, I put Lee in the top three that had a very big impact on my career. Tom W. and Doug M. where the others. My heart and prayers go out to the family.
ReplyDeleteUncle Lee, I wish that I could have been there to say goodbye to you, and I'll always love and miss you.
ReplyDeleteI told my sons that you are proud of their military services. You were the closest thing to having a dad, since he died.
Bud and I will carry on the family name, and keep doing you proud. We loved you very much.
This breaks my heart, He was one of my favorite co workers... wish i could have been at the funeral
ReplyDeleteLee was a good man. I met him years ago in Poteau during political meetings.
