David Lee, as Mother and Daddy called you, I miss you terribly and my only comfort is knowing you and Alice are together again in Heaven. I remember when you had friends over, I wouldn't leave you alone. As punishment, you would hit my arm with your knuckle and it hurt! Of course I would run and tell Mother and get you in trouble. When we took a family trip you and I would sit in the back seat, but 10 minutes down the road, Daddy had to separate us....You in the front with Daddy and Mother and I in the back. Those were some good times, weren't they. I will miss our visits to Memphis to see the family. Now there isn't anyone there for me to visit. That makes me sad. Give Alice a hug for me. I love you Bubba!
David Lee, as you were always called by our parents, I miss you terribly and that miss is only going to get worse. Being 6 years younger, I was at a great disadvantage growing up!.....I was at your mercy when our Mother insisted you include me when your friends came to the house. I will never forget the times you would make sure your middle knuckle was out when you would hit me on my arm....yes it hurt and yes I always told our Mother. When we would go on trips with Mother and Daddy we would start out with you and I in the back seat but it only took about 10 minutes for them to separate us! Looking back now those were the best times of our lives. I am so thankful that you and Alice will be together again in Heaven......give her a hug for me!
I love you Bubba!
Your loving little sister.....
David was my father in-law for roughly 6 years. He and Alice always had an open door policy to me and my boys. To say I was blessed to have the chance to know them is an understatement. I not only got to know them but their family as well. David always had a smile on his face. Especially when Aiden his grandson was around. His face would just lite up when Aiden would walk in the room. I know he missed Alice and it’s selfish of me to say I wish he was still here with us. I know he is at peace with the lord and his Alice. I just hope he knew how much we all loved him. Especially Aiden.
Having been married to David's sister for over fifty years I got to know him well over the years even though we lived over 400 miles from each other. The two things David enjoyed the most were golf and Memphis State basketball. I'm going to share a golf story to illustrate why I loved this man. David loved golf so much that he built his home next to the fairway of the eighteenth hole of a Memphis area golf course. David got to be a pretty good golfer, but had no use for those who did not play the game well. In fact, he gave up playing when his advanced age diminished his playing ability. One summer day when we were visiting we were sitting on his deck next to the fairway. I noticed a large bucket of golf balls sitting on the deck and asked why they were there. He answered "I collect them". A short time later a ball comes into his back yard which of course is way out of bounds. He immediately gets up and picks the ball up and drops it into the bucket and sits back down in his chair. A short time later a golfer shows up looking for his ball and when he can't find it asked if we had seen a ball come over into the yard. David answers "nope, haven't seen it". It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud when I noticed the golfer staring at the bucket full of golf balls on the deck. I absolutely loved his sense of humor. RIP brother-in-law.
