Leigh and Stacey,
We are so sorry for your loss. Love and miss you! Mark & Heather Mills
How fortunate could one be coming to Muskegon 8 years ago and land with Lee as your neighbor. I learned he was a man of routine with his morning runs past his old shop, figuring out where Sue and him would go to dinner, talking with Leigh and Stacey and Friday morning breakfast with his buddies. Oh and the occasional request to buff off his latest parking scuff. He enjoyed sitting and his chair and looking at the lake with the TV as a background. He was proud of Leigh and Stacey, fiercely loyal to his family and friends and always had a kind word for whatever the occasion. In our many chats, he would always conclude with " no complaints" neighbor. He was at piece with himself. Rest in peace my friend with the sun shining on your face! You will be missed!

Leigh and Stacey. I have such good memories of both your mom and dad from my early childhood and throughout my life. He was always such a kind person to me and our family. I always enjoyed being around him, but one of my favorite memories was when I still lived in Muskegon and bowled one year in the KC Bowling League. He never really paid much attention to the actual competing part of the KC golf league or bowling league as far as I could remember and really just seemed to enjoy being around friends. But on the one occasion at bowling, I was at the next lane over and someone yelled LeRoy you're up as he was never paying attention. What was odd was he went over to the other team's lane and tried to pick up their split apparently not realizing he was on his first ball. He just laughed it off and everyone laughed with him. He could always bring a smile to others and made them feel welcome. He will definitely be missed.
Love,
Jeff and Rhonda Brooks
Leigh and Stacey, So very sorry for your loss. When the Lord calls our loved ones home, He leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Hold on to those memories, and let them guide you both during this time of sadness.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.

In my encounters with Lee at the Knights, he always had a kind word and a smile. This world will miss that. Our loss is heaven's gain. Prayers to Lee's family and friends.
To Lee’s family, They say we should leave the world better than we found it!
Rest assured Lee did that in every way! He was nice, kind and always showed a real concern for people with that big smile that I knew was hard to bear at times.
Always a gentleman!
Gods speed Lee we will definitely miss you here at Balcom’s Cove

Leigh and Stacey, Bob and I are so sorry for your loss. We had such great times with your mom and dad at River's Edge for so many years! So many great times and so many laughs. We will cherish those memories and great times! You will be in our prayers and we hope that you feel God's grace at a very difficult time.

I met Lee at Lee Printing, then again our paths crossed when he cared for a gentleman who lived at my assisted living. He was caring and I know he will be missed by his family.
