To all of the Dekeyser and Brown families. We were truly saddened to hear of Lee's passing and you will all be in our hearts tomorrow as you celebrate his life. Our fondest memories of Lee go back years when we all gathered at Grandma and Grandpa Deseure's for Christmas. All the snow mobile rides through the trails. Lee loved playing with the kids and had many, many stories to share. His loud boisterous voice brought the gatherings to life and we really miss those times we all shared, but truly hold them dear to our hearts. Keep his memory alive by telling stories like he loved to tell. Love to you all. Deb, Dave and family and Aunt Elda.

Bill and I are truly saddened by the sudden passing of Lee. To Carol and his family we offer our most sincere condolences. Lee will be fondly remembered by myself from the 60s working in tobacco and during the years we shared a common interest in municipal government.

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

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.

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

Sincere condolences to all of Elie's extended family. Have known him from the first days of South Cramahe School opening and throughout his time as Reeve of our township. Many years of memories of this hard working man

So sorry to hear of Lee passing. Our condolences to the family

My deepest condolences for your loss.

Dear family of Elie, It is with great sadness that we received the news of Elie’s passing. Finding the right words for a loss this profound is not easy. Elie was a remarkable person, and his warmth, humor, and love will always remain with us. We cherish the many fond memories we have of him, moments that made us smile and inspired us. Those memories will forever hold a special place in our hearts. During this difficult time, we want to express our deepest sympathies. Our thoughts are with you, and we wish you strength and comfort to endure this immense loss. May the beautiful memories of Elie bring you solace and draw you closer together in this challenging period. Please know that you are in our thoughts. With heartfelt condolences your belgian cousins Johan & Marie-Rose & family, Koekelare, Belgium
