Walter Lee, affectionately known as Walt Lee, Daddy, and “Bae” by his
loving wife, Lois. He always had a way of making you feel like you were
right at home. His personality was truly one to remember. With candid
greetings such as: “Who, the Heck are you?”, “I don’t know you,” “What
you doing in my house?”, followed by “Rotten no good” or remarks such
as “Get out of my house” & “That’s a bet.” It was hilarious moments as
such that warmed your heart and made you feel as though the distance was
not a factor. He was extremely passionate about having a good time and
possessed a strong work ethic for over four decades. To know Walter
Lee, was to love him. His cunning sense of words will truly be missed.
