Dear Carol and the Dekeyser/Brown families: We were saddened today to learn about Lee's death. If ever there was one in the Cramahe area, Lee was that "force to be reckoned with!" He was sometimes a challenging person with whom to debate ... particularly when it came to agriculture and Cramahe politics ... Lee was always a delight to have around. His smile was contagious. He will be missed by a great many people. Our hearts are with you. Tom & Linda Philp

Jacalyn Baker-Smtih - November 29, 2024

Lee was a true guardian of Cramahe Township but also, he was a defender of a common sense approach to everything. I remember going to Lee's home to build park benches for the town while he had an interveinous line in his arm for blood poisoning. He also had an endless supply of energy with a heart of gold. Lee still makes me laugh, thinking about his funny demeanor. He always made a point to visit me in the town gardens whenever he was in town. The world is less without Lee in it.

Jean McCrory - November 29, 2024

My condolences to Elie's family. Big hugs Carol.
