  1. We worked for years with Leroy at Knowles Dressel’s in Skowhegan ME. He was a friend and a co-worker. We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We exchanged Christmas cards for SO many years.

    – Emil "Bob" & Joyce Kenney

  2. Farewell kind friend. You and Jean have been a role model for our family since the day I became a Knight of Columbus nearly 50 years ago. We treasured your friendship and tried to live our lives as close to yours as possible. The importance of family, community service and respect for everyone was paramount. Our years working together as State Deputy and being your Exec. Secretary were a pleasure. I am sure everyone in Heaven is due for a two handed handshake and pat on the back when Lee arrives. I suspect there will be a joke or two on the way…

  3. Thank you all for the kind words. Lee will have a wonderful space in heaven, next to our Lord. I know that Lee is looking down on us all. I also heard that Lee will be golfing and saving a spot in his foursome for every one of us. With Love and admiration…

    – Pete and Valerie Green Plummer
