We were friends in Jr. High school and high school. Ran around together for years. I remember we would go to the Robinson Auditorium and watch the wrestling about every Tuesday night. I think it was Tuesday. Anyway lost track after we graduated. Just thinking about those days I decided to see if I could find him on line. Didn't know he had passed. Sure hate for that news. We had many good times back in those days.
Oh Cyndi, I am so sorry to hear about Lee. I didn't know he had been ill. I pray that God will comfort you and your family during this time of sorrow.
