Debra HeydenSending prayers for family and friends. Lee was liked by many. I remember many of the fun times we had at the Safety Building and many of Lee's jokes. My family and I enjoyed him as AKA: Santa and collection of can foods on Christmas Lane. It was nice to see all the decorations and my kids really did think he was Santa! R.I.P. Brother, gone but never forgotten.
