Truely one of the sweetest men I’ve had the privilege of knowing. So thankful we got to meet Uncle Lee and Aunt Dot so late in their lives. His mischievousness will be missed when we visit NC but when I think of him it will bring a smile to my face. Will raise a glass of vodka tomorrow evening in England in honour of a very special Uncle 💙

I loved our time at Beech Mountain,many rounds of golf and dinners on the deck, thanks for many happy memories. Also my best member-member partner ever, you'll be missed lefty. Sad Day Jim Clifton
Carol,
I was very saddened to learn of your dad's passing. I have such fond memories of the old neighborhood when our lives were young and carefree. Your dad lived a long life, my mother in law is 97 and although in a nursing home, she is still sharp as a tack. Sending you hugs and keeping all of you close in my heart and prayers.
Much love and sympathy,
Sandy Jones Nickell
