Lee and Pat were our first pastors after we were married in 1974 and I believe we were their first church in Inglewood, CA. They both were engaging, giving love and friendship to our congregation. Lee was an excellent preacher and a shepherding pastor! We were an evangelistic church, going door-to-door in the neighborhood. He discipled us. What impressed us most is he would do janitor work, set up chairs, do the dishes, mop the floors, and was humble in serving the LORD. He was a good role-model to all of us. He gathered the men, training them to be leaders in the church. Gregg was ordained a deacon at that time. Four of us young women had baby girls about the same time (1979). Pat crocheted all of them smiling happy face bonnets. It was so cute seeing our daughters toddle around with their happy face bonnets. Lee and Pat hosted many fellowships at their parsonage, greatly promoting fellowship and friendship at the church. We LOVED Lee and Pat!! We admired their love and devotion to Jesus and our church. Praise God for lives well-lived for God's glory!! Much joy is in heaven as Jesus welcomes Lee into His arms!! Pat, Aaron & Cristi- we are sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers. May our LORD truly comfort you now. Sincerely, Gregg & Molly

Sending my deepest love to Pat, Aaron, Cristi, Scott, the girls and Lee's family and friends. May you feel God's comfort and the love of the people around you in the days, weeks and months to come. Lee was such a prominent part of my childhood at FFBC and a wonderful example of a Godly father and husband. He was great in both stature and heart and could deliver a kind word as easily as a stern look, and always delivered with love. We were blessed to have him lead our church and I thank you for sharing him with us. xo
