“Dad” “Pop Pop” “Uncle Lee” “Lee” “Grandpa” were names that he was affectionately known. He loved the simple things in life such as Big Macs, Coca Cola, and sweets, especially chocolates. He was an avid sports fan and loved playing cards. Lee had a heart for helping people and could be seen pushing the lawnmower down the street to cut and attend to several lawns. He also enjoyed shoveling snow for others. The one way you would know if he was in agreeance with you, was his favorite saying, “right, right, right, right.”
