Dear Hazel and Family,
My mom just let me know about Uncle Lee. I have such fond memories of Uncle Lee. He was such a kind and generous man. There were many years where, if not for the kindness of Lee and Gandy Service, I never would have been able to maintain that old rattle-trap Buick I drove. My parents and I were always fond of both Lee and Hazel, and all of us truely respected his knowledge of car repairs. All my boys also remember Lee with fondness and are grateful to him for all the generosity and advice he showed them in their teens. The community has suffered the loss of a great man. Please accept our sympathies.
