Rick Christian says
To the family of Lee, I was a classmate of Lee’s in Jr. high school back in Brainerd. I was so impressed with the friendship we had in school and the knowledge of life he had at our age. I was also a classmate of his sister Terry, and at class reunions was able to ask her how he was doing. I pray that God will be with your family at these sad times. May God bless Lee.
