Lee, when you and Roberta moved to Florida permanently two years ago, you really messed up my Sunday morning routine. It was a given that on Sunday after I left church, (when in town) I would stop by and enjoy coffee and conversation with the to of you. I have missed that very much, Roberta and I talked about that the other day on the phone. Watch over her as she needs to get that new hip healed. We will all miss you very much, see you when my time on earth is over. Love, Rose

So sorry to hear of Leo's passing. Did not get to see him all that often but when the group of friends got together for golf or cards, it was always fun and you and your broad smile will be missed. Carol Theisen and Jack Hurosky
