Tom and family, you're in our hearts and prayers. We loved when we came to visit you from Michigan and your parents would sometimes come to your house to visit and have dinner with us all. I often wondered what he thought when we all got together, What a noisy houseful we always are. Lee never talked a lot but you definitely felt his gentle, kind, loving presence. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
