My prayers are with the Taylor family. I knew Lee when I lived in Garden City in the mid-60s. He was bigger than life. What a great man who had an impact on my life. May God comfort you in ways only he can.

Oh dear Selma, Dave and I do not have the proper words to express our deep sorrow for your great loss. We just saw the news! We are so sorry. Please let us know if you need anything. Lee loved our Sheba dog and would take time to stop on his way “down the hill” to talk to her. He will be deeply missed. His smile was infectious. Love and blessings, Dave and Lynda Malone
