Dad …. for all those times I left it unsaid – thank you. Thanks for being there for me … for showing me the way. For being patient with me even when I made it difficult for you. For believing in me and encouraging me to dream … and being such an inspiring presence in my life.
Gregg
Both John and I are saddened by Lee’s passing. We knew him for 35 years as my sister Patty’s father-in-law, Gregg’s dad, and grandpa to Amy and Anthony. He was a kind, supportive and caring man who always was gracious to us and we enjoyed sharing many family events with him and Shirley (in earlier years). We extend our deepest sympathy to the whole Kline family but especially Gregg, Patty, Amy and Anthony. Gregg, think of the Native American saying that death is “walking on.” Your dad has walked on and he is strong and healthy again as he joins your mom. Love to all, Sue and John
Lee, to a wonderful Father-in-law who always treated me like a daughter. I will miss making you your special treats whenever you would come to visit and your reports about the daily weather and sports.
You have taught my husband many things and for that I am grateful. Working along side of you for those many years, he learned your calm, quiet but “get her done” ways! I will also miss your humor and your original birthday card poems. Here’s one last one for you!
Roses are red, and violets are blue
Such a wonderful man, we will forever miss you!
Love, kisses and hugs,,,Patty
Lee,
To a wonderful neighbor and friend. Along with Shirley, your kindness, compassion and humor helped me and the kids through some very difficult time. I have some wonderful and very fun memories of those years we where all together.
Till We Meet Again on the other side, sending my love and hugs to you Lee, your beloved Shirley and my guy Al. Enjoy the card playing, hunting, fishing, horse shoe games and Shirley’s home made desserts( no more diets for you my friend). I would say rest in peace but I really think you will be to busy—so Enjoy my Friend and see you again where the Angels sing.
