More than his love for farming was his extraordinary love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his family, and his church family. Family, friends and loved ones were well prayed over. Lee was a lifetime member of the Cliff UMC till its closing in 2014. Currently he had been attending the Ohl UMC. He had a passion for singing quartet music which he did since age 17 and sang his last song with the quartet on August 9th at church. Lee was very proud of his family and the work ethic he instilled in each and every one of them. He had a smile, a hug, and word of encouragement for everyone he ever spoke to. He was a loving father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. They sure loved him too and he will be greatly missed.
