I have been a client of Lee for many years. I saw him every six weeks and he was a constant in my life and a treasure of a friend. I told him everything and he always gave me great advice. He always spoke so lovely of his family and how much he loved you all. Although he was a Clemson fan and myself a Gamecock fan, we still got along. So thankful to have known him, made my life better and blessed. All of my love to the family and Lee will be always in my prayers.

I have known Lee for more than Twenty years. My hair always looked spectacular! Never have I seen him more at peace than at his recent baptism with his daughter Arden.

I grew up with Lee and graduated from HS with him. Heaven gained an angel Sunday, and I pray that God will provide peace and comfort for his family.

He will truly be missed. A rare individual with lots of heart who was always willing to lend an ear. As my daughter so eloquently said this morning, my heart hurts because it is sad. But we will rejoice with him again one day.

Lee has been my friend for more than 23 years. My friend -you will be missed - but always remembered for the kind of person you are - someone who always had a bright outlook, an encouraging word or joke, and who would give anyone the shirt from his back.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May you feel loved and comforted during this difficult time.
