Greg,
We are praying for you and your family at this time of great loss. We hope that wonderful memories of your father will help sustain you throughout the coming years without him.

Big Lee, as I called him was my second Dad. Gina and I have been best friends since the sixth grade so I was over at the Wike house a lot growing up. I never saw Big Lee without a smile on his face. He was a devoted father, husband and a man of God. I believe he was welcomed into Heaven by Mama Ruth Ann as I called Gina’s mom, Dale and his parents and siblings. I’m so glad that as Christians we don’t have to say goodbye but until we meet again. I believe that Big Lee will have many jewels in his crown as well as a mansion in Heaven for the way he lived his life. Prayers and hugs to Gwen, Greg, Gina and the extended family as they lay their father and grandfather to rest. Please look up my dad and you guys have a big time talking about racing and how proud you are of your kids and grands. God bless you Big Lee. Until we meet again. Love you sweet man.
