I worked with Lee for over 30 years at K&W Cafeterias. Lee worked with me on my very first day and made me feel welcomed although it was my first job and I was scared to death. He loved his customers and they loved him. He always had time to tell a quick story to everyone and put a smile on their faces. I have always admired him because he took the time to work with you and make you better and more valuable to the company. Lee was unique in many ways but was also a blessing to so many. He ALWAYS spoke to the highest degree about his loving family and cherished them dearly. Lee, my friend, you will be missed but I know if I do my part, we’ll meet again and start all over with some new stories. God bless Lee and his family during this most difficult time.
