There are no words that can express how sorry we are for your loss. It was so evident that Lee was a loving Husband and a doting Grandfather when the children came to visit at Bass Lake. Very fond memories of Lee and Sue when they would stop up to join us on the patio at the lake, and getting together for dinner and other fun times. This kind, soft spoken, and gentle man will never be forgotten! We are sorry that we will not be able to attend the services. God Bless and be with you and your family during this sad time! Hugs!! XOXO

I grew up across the street from the Rillemas on Dangl Road. We had many good times together , especially Lee,Beth,George, and Larry. Lee was 2-years younger than me but we were great friends some 60-years ago. After about 50-yrs.of not seeing each other, I was fortunate to see Lee twice in the past 2-years and was looking forward to renewing our friendship. I am so sorry I won't be able to attend his memorial service but he and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.I have so many good memories of when we were kids together and had so much freedom to explore.

My condolences to Lee's entire family from an old friend.

Share a memory? There are so many... One of my earliest memories is when we lived on Franklin Street. I was about 6. I would wait for dad to come home from work and hide from him. He would search all around the house until he found me, joyously tickle me and blow on my belly! That is one of my sweetest memories. There are many of them, so many. He always made me feel safe, loved and special.
