As others have said, many great times and laughter with you Lee back in the early 70's. You were an amazing guy. A quick and ready smile, fantastically playful. No one could dive like you at the Lonoke swimming pool . You had such command of your body. Rest in Peace, old friend.

Oh the memories from the swimming pool ! It was ironic that YOU pushed me into the deep-end after I told you that I didn't know how to swim yet, then you had to save my young self and apologize to my family ! I signed up for lessons the next day ! You were a hoot and will be missed by so many of us. I wish we had kept in touch. I gave up raising Guppies after High School and I am so sorry to add you to the Lonoke Jackrabbit Memorial Page on Facebook.. We love you fellow Jackrabbit. See you again on the other side

Kathy, Judy and family. Our sincerest condolences to all of Lee’s family and friends. Praying for comfort knowing Lee made an impact on everyone. It has been years since I had seen him, but I have fond memories of our youthful days at the Lonoke Swimming Pool in his life guarding days. I know many parents were thankful that they could drop off their kids for the afternoon at the pool and have a peaceful mind that Lee and the other lifeguards were trained at keeping a watchful eye on the safety of their children. Rest In Peace Lee.
