Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

Remembering a good man, who assistant every student in the class work. He coached me and all my brothers in my family. But I was one kid that he recruited to win him championships in football 25 touch downs, and basketball he told the entire team that we can't win without Askew. I think the most of him he fought for each student athlete to believe- try. I will always remember him. His words on the the gride iron, and court you better pass your class and no cutting. He love teaching students and he was so positive in his educational way. ... The perfect father. Will forever miss you. Coach Lee❤️

Dear Lee Family Members:

My name is Mervin McCoy from Norfolk, VA who taught with Peter at Manassas from 1960-65. After moving back to Virginia, we stayed in contact via visits, phone messages and E Mail. During the demise of our family members, we have always found words of Peace and Closure in the following:

"BUT NOW THEY DESERVE A BETTER COUNTRY, THAT IS, AN HEAVENLY, WHEREFORE GOD IS NOT ASHAMED TO BE CALLED THEIR GOD, FOR HE HATH PREPARED FOR THEM A CITY".

I AM CERTAIN THAT YOUR FAITH WILL CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN YOU NOW AND IN THE DAYS TO COME.

Mervin and Pam McCoy Chesapeake, VA

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
