Dear Uncle Lee,
You were so very special to the family. I still remember the time you lived with us so many years ago; you always made us laugh. You and my Mom, Violet ( you were the only one who called her Tolanda her Italian name & the only one she allowed to do that), were so very close & loved each other deeply. I know you guys started a poker game with whiskey shots as soon as you got there along with Jeanette. So many people will miss you. My heart and deepest sympathies go out to your girls, their family and your dear grandkids (you could'nt talk enough about them with Mom). You were so loved and will be missed always.
Love & Prayers,
Barbara McNamara

Uncle Leroy, I'll always remember when I was a kid, coming over to stay with you and Aunt Jeannette for the St. Rocco's Feast-- you and Uncle Phillie were always a lot of fun. I always got homesick, but you and Aunt Jeanette and the girls made my visits fun. I will miss you.
