Even though no one else sees the resemblance, Lee has always reminded me of Burt Young.
I’ve known him most of my life and I honestly don’t have a bad word to say about him.
Both he and his wife Sharon always treated me exceedingly well and their
generosity and kindness never fails to regenerate my faith.
So many people talk about paying it forward while doing nothing even
close to that while Lee and Sharon were always thinking of others and
how to payback for the blessings bestowed upon them.
I don’t recall a time when Lori and I weren’t friends and I’m even
counting the moments when one of us was holding a grudge or allowing
some silly disagreement to place us in a timeout.
Sometimes years passed before we saw each other again and yet we’ve
always picked back up where we’d left off because that’s what true
friends do.
I was there when Lee and Sharon renewed their wedding vows and I believe there’s still a video of that out there somewhere.
I’ll never understand why people have to die. I wish like the Energizer
Bunny we could continue onward-forward-infinite through the end times
and toward a new beginning of everlasting bliss.
Of course for all I know when we are no more what awaits us is even fuller of possibilities and a new, fledgling hope.
I know Lee is missing Sharon something terrible and that they will be
reunited. I hope that gives Lori and Randy some peace at this difficult
time.
He’s Rocky, fighting the good fight and making sure he’s always a
champion in the eyes of those he loves and who so dearly love him back.
Writing poetry for the family is a great honor because they are true Guardians of the Eternal Flame.
Lip service gets no one anywhere in this crazy, cockeyed world, but if
you live your truth like Lee does I can assure you that God looks upon
you favorably.
