Uncle lee was one of the most fun & loving person you would ever meet. He always cracked jokes at us kids and gave each one of us a nickname for that day lol. Uncle lee Was all around what you would imagine the best uncle. I will miss the guitar singing & the laughter he brought to all of us. He left us with so many great memories & I am so thankful to call him my uncle.
