Rex Hand was Leland's room mate at Autumn Hills. We are sorry for your loss and our prayers are for all who loved Leland. Rex certainly loved and misses Lee. They were good company for each other. He spoke frequently about his home place and his wife. He missed them both terribly. He is home now and they are together. In that we can all take comfort.

Very sad to hear of Lee's passing....I did not get to know him until very late in life, but he was a really neat guy.....I think the last time I saw him was at a reunion in Branson 4 years ago. Every year when members of our family visited a series of cemeteries each Memorial Day, we would almost always see Lee sitting outside at the house there by the cemetery...
Lee and my dad, John Paul Middleton, were first cousins. Lee's dad Clyde and my dad's dad Paul were brothers.
God bless you during the sad time...
