Mark Gronseth wrote a sympathy message

“It was with great sadness that I learned of Lee's passing yesterday. We go way back to high school days when we both played baritone horn in the Britton High Band. In the past I had some wonderful phone conversations with him and always enjoyed his writing. I also just now read his writing from October 2025 on "No More Night" and what a witness that is to his servant's heart and his great love for our Lord. Susan and family, my prayers are with you at this time. Pastor Mark Gronseth”

“Pastor Lee was a legend of my childhood. I remember his kind smile, his mustache and how he baptized me in Darlington Lake. He is a part of my journey in faith, like he is for so many others. See you on the other side Paster Lee. Blessing and comfort to his family during the loss.”
