My deepest condolences Pat, Aaron, Cristi, Scott and family. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you endure this difficult time. I pray that you will find comfort in the Lord and your memories of the precious times you have had with Lee.

I have truly appreciated the input that Lee has had in my life as a Pastor and as a friend. He remanded steadfast and faithful, often with a wise word and a twist of humor. I will miss him. Love to your all.

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

Pastor Lee as a gentle, kind, caring and loving man, who imparted so much knowledge from God’s word. He had a massive impact on life! What true servant of God. Well done thy good & faithful servant.

Some Happy Memories of Lee.
The Lenzing Family was sent by God from Colton CA to be with us at Frankston Forest Baptist Church in 1991. Lee's bubbling enthusiasm revitalized many areas of our Church Family life.

Lee was the most beautiful, caring, loving man. He made such an impression on my husband and was the first and only minister he ever liked and trusted.
I am so thankful that God brought our families together.

So many memories of the Lenzing family, from meeting you for the first time in Yuma AZ to ‘check you out’ for our church in Melton, Australia as our future minister to catching up at Coulton CA & surprising you on two occasions . The enjoyment of A wonderful Friendship.
Remember The enjoyment of a memorable American Thanksgiving Lunch at Coulton “Hey the Lenzing’s Buns are split”
And those sermons & concerts at Melton Baptist ...what great times.

Dear Pat, Aaron & Christie, we send you our love & prayers at this time.

Praise God for a great friend & Pastor.

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

Our hearts are with you in this time and always. We know you are strong in faith and pray for the loving arms of our Father to embrace you in this time of grief. We grieve only for the loss we feel as we are comforted knowing that Uncle Lee is with our Father in heaven.

The little "roo" seemed so appropriate.
My most sincere condolences at Lee's passing
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace,
through Christ the Lord, Amen.
