I have fond memories of Lee. We used to call him “little” Lee. I always thought of him as being so much younger than I. Three years probably seemed like a lot to kids. So many nice family reunions at the Leo DeMeyer farm. I’m sending my deepest regrets to Lee’s family. Although we moved away from Illinois in 1964, and didn’t know Lee’s wife and children, I often visited Aunt Marie after our move and got updates on the family that meant so much to her, and Uncle Leo.
Our sincere condolences to the Lee DeMeyer family.
