In the recent passing of your sister Joy (November 1, 2014) I decided to look for Eva's obituary (passed a day and two years after you on August 11, 2010) I found yours. I don't recall ever meeting you, I remember Eva and Delores always talking about you and Buddy. I always wondered where the LEE came from in our family. My brother and some both have the middle name Lee. My mother said would always just say it's a family name. And the girls (my daughter and myself.) Get it names from your sisters middle name Rose. I can't wait for the day I can meet you, your family, and see Eva again. RIP Lee.

Geri,MaryLee,Andy and Les:
Lee was a neat person....a real gentleman and devoted husband and father. I was very fortunate to have been able to see and visit with him at the Lutheran Home while Les was tending to his needs. I was pleased that he recognized me.

I'm sorry that I will not be able to attend the memorial service for Lee. Please accept my deepest sympathy to all of you for losing such a wonderful family member.

May he rest in peace.

Les, I did not have the privilege of meeting your Dad but if you are any reflection of his love for others, then I knew him vicariously through you. How can I share in your sorrow? Words seem so inadequate for so great a loss. So I will only tell you that I love you and I am here for you always. My sincere prayers and thoughts are with you, your Mom and your loving family. Your friend, Bea##imported-begin##Bernadette Joseph (Bea)##imported-end##
