LB was friend of mine. He came into my business daily to pick up repair parts for Lexicon/Schueck Steel. I always respected LB for the way he carried himself. He was a good man who had solid convictions. He was strong in his beliefs and was a man of his word. I shared tomatoes I grew with LB and he always enjoyed them. He was "old school" in the way he went about things, and I respected him for that. I hope someday to meet him again in God's Kingdom. Jay Bullard
