So sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. I worked with Lee at Centel and enjoyed his company during our gatherings at Tip Top for breakfast. He was a great person and will truly be missed, but never forgotten.

Sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. Many memories of working together at the phone company. He will be missed at our breakfast meetings at Tip Top if we can ever get together again.
I am saddened to learn of Lee’s passing. My sympathy and prayers are offered for his family. It was my pleasure to have worked with Lee on the Plant Department staff at Centel in the mid seventies. Rest In Peace our Telephone Brother.
I am so sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. I worked in the Engineering Department at Centel years ago and I will always remember how much fun Lee was to work with. I had just brought up his name to another Centel employee the other week.
Please accept my sincere sympathy given in friendship and love.
Sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. He will be greatly missed.
May you find peace in your heart and joy in your memories
When we learned of Lee’s homegoing, Michael was in shock at first and then said “I lost my singing partner.” We all can remember Lee’s jovial face!
Several months back we were next door at the Moore’s home and as we were leaving Mike wanted to run in to see Ann and Lee. Because of the pandemic we chose not to. But what a glorious reunion we will have soon…Peace and prayers as you grieve.
Love, Pam, Mike, Aaron, Joshua, Aurora Price
