Always something funny, always a great joke, never a dull moment when you were around. I can see you on my porch, always laughing and making all those around you comfortable and welcomed. You will be missed sweet boy! May your family be comforted by always remembering the good and happy times you brought to all around you.

It was never a dull moment at the City of Fayetteville Street Department when Lee was around. He had the ability to brighten the day by his jokes and his outgoing personality. I feel privilaged to have been a friend of his for only the one year I knew him. He fondly talked of his Daddy Mack and his lovely wife Yvonne. I pray God gives them and the family the strength to get through this difficult time. We’ll miss ya Lee.
Rest in peace Brother…
