Where has the time gone? I was just talking about you the other day. About the unofficial "Home Depot Car Club" where you and John Pitcock would park at the top of the parking lot and had the two best cars side by side. We now have several "decent" cars but you two started the trend. Miss you, sir.

So sad to see that Lee has passed away. He was a great co-worker at Home Depot. He was a very quiet man until he got to know you. He always talked of his cats that he loved. I am proud to have called him a friend.
God be with you, his family, in this sad time in your lives.

I was also saddened to hear of Lee's passing. He was a great man who was well respected. Lee was quiet at work but was still quite a character. Lee always brought his half-a-sandwich to work in a little brown bag, drove a very nice Porsche, had been a math teacher, loved fire works and his cats but most of all he enjoyed talking about his beloved Citadel football team and I know he must have been looking forward to this years game versus the Gamecocks. I am a big Gamecocks fan but it looks like the Bulldogs may have some extra help coming this year. Go get 'em Lee.

I was saddened to learn of Lee's passing; I had the pleasure to work with Lee at the Home Depot in North Charleston SC; Lee loved celebrating the 4th of July, buying loads of fireworks for the festivities. You will be missed, and it was an honor to be your friend
