Lee and Linda were married and best friends for 48 years. Every Christmas Eve we enjoyed having friends and family over for dinner. The highlight was a lively Christmas auction. Lee loved his pets and was kind to animals. He had a good sense of humor. Lee's nickname was Mr. Fix-it. He lived up to that name. Despite many illnesses and surgeries, Lee had a positive attitude and trusted and believed in the Lord Jesus."
