So sorry for your loss of Lee. I used to buff and wax all the company cars back in the early 60's while I was needing extra money as a part time job. All three brothers were always very nice to me, and I always have remembered that.

Dear Scott and family,

Going back to 1990 when I first became part of the Forum 400, known then as the "International Forum" Lee was one of the industry "giants" who was nice to me, taught me things and helped me grow as a professional in this industry. Always a gentleman, good at what he did, caring about client sand family hew was indeed a leader. Lee will be missed in so many ways. My deepest sympathies to your entire family and the community that Lee touched.

Scott,
I was very surprised to get this sad news. Please extend my Sympathy to your siblings and Sharon. Lee and I have been going to meetings since 1972, back in the Wisconsin National Life days... Every year we spent time together at the Forum meeting including this year and I'm quite sure I met you at one of those meetings. Your dad was very proud that his family would continue his business and I'm sure you knew that.
The world has lost a true gentlemen who will be missed by many.
