Jared, I knew your dad many years ago, and then worked with him at Southland from 2007-2017. All his life he was the epitome of genteel and a nicer gentleman i never knew.

Lee and Cheryl have been dear friends since the late 70s. After Cheryl passed away in 2019, Lee and I would get together and remember our past. We had some great discussions about famous musical groups that he knew and enjoyed. Our first concert to attend together was Paul McCartney at the Fedex Forum. When he and Cheryl came to Nashville for concerts, they were anxious to tell of their experiences. I joined them for the Happy Together Tour twice. Lee was such a kind and thoughtful person. Very fine Christian man. So thankful for his caregivers, Jennifer and Gloria, who had great respect for Lee.

It’s so hard to believe you’re gone. I’ve known for over 50 years. You were a great friend to Stan and me. Go rest now sweet friend and be free of pain. Go and hug your Cheryl. Miss you, Stan and Sharon

Lee was such a precious person. I have many memories of him at our house when I was growing up. He could do the best Flip Wilson’s impersonation of “Geraldine.” He made my Mother laugh until we cried!

I’m so thankful that O.D. & I had a good visit with him a little while back. He will be missed.
He’s with Jesus now and his precious Cheryl.
