I met Lee about 10 or so yrs ago when he brought crawfish to us for the first time for Jeremy. Right away I could tell that man had a work ethic like no other and he was just a good hearted/spirited person. He would always come in with a smile and was always so friendly like we had been friends our whole life. There is no doubt he was believer and he made it to be with the Lord . Prayers to all of his family during this time
