Cindy,
I am so sorry. Your Dad was one of the nicest people I've known since I moved to NWA 21 years ago. I know you will miss him dearly. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Jeff Evans - Good friend of Cindy's
So sorry for your lost. Was on the Fire department with Lee for many years and thought the world of him. A great person I had the privilege of knowing. Sending prayers to all the family.
Roger Hulse Family - Freind
Condolances
And loving heart felt blessings to you Cindy dear and your whole family!

Lee was a good friend. We fished, hunted & were members of the Prairie Grove Volunteer Fire Department together. Lee was a true genius in his own way. He could “fix” or build anything (he might have been the only one who could operate it after it was fixed/built??). He could also determine how to solve complex problems that others couldn’t. There won’t be another like him & that’s a shame. He was a good guy.
