    Alicia and I want you all to know how much we love you, feel your grief, and appreciate your moving to Maryland so you would be close to us. I know how hard that decision was and continues to be, especially now. The closeness you shared with your dad, grandpa, father-in-law, is keenly felt and I believe spread to encompass us all.

    That’s a good picture of your Dad and the obituary says what all of us strive for in life: beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, neighbor and friend. His life was a celebration and I can’t help but think of my grandfather Bill when I see that picture of Lee and all the pictures we saw at the reunion. I loved the sweeping hairdo Lee had in his younger days. He appeard to be quite the “looker”, tall and handsome and that twinkling smile. I really enjoyed seeing Lee and Gladys at the reunion. They looked great and were both sharp. I know you guys will miss him. My Dad’s fondness of your Dad was always known in our house and we always thought of him as Uncle Lee. I remember him calling on the phone and it being exciting! I’ll always remember your Dad and that nice boat on Kentucky Lake when he entertained the Alabama Dinan’s. We will keep all of you in our prayers and pray that Lee’s giving spirit helps others through science. Give your Mom a BIG warm southern hug from us and know we are with you all during these holidays thinking of you and praying for a holiday season full of remembrance and honor of a truly special person-Lee Dinan.

    Aunt Gladys, Charlie, Susie, Mike and Kay – So sorry to hear about Uncle Lee. He was always such a joy to be around and I’m so glad we got to see him at the reunion. I’m also impressed that he donated his body – an easier decision for me now knowing that he did it! You’re in our thoughts and prayers and we love you.

    Aunt Gladys, Charlie, Sue, Mike, and Kay:

    We are so saddened to hear of Lee’s passing and so sorry for your loss. Lee will always be remembered by our family as he undoubtedly is by those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

    Lee represents such a huge part of our family heritage and we know he had a special bond with our father. It was so good to see him at the family reunion, the opportunity to visit with him adding to the pleasures of a truly special experience. With Lee, the distance and lapsed time always melted away the moment he flashed that trademark smile – as wide as he was tall, it seemed. While the times we spent together were too few and far between, they were always comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable.

    We are so glad to have our memories of Lee and pray you will find comfort from your own. Know that our hearts and our home are open to you always.

    Sincerely,

    William P.(Billy Pat)Dinan
    along with Jeanna, Will, Maude, and Lee Sinclair Dinan

    Gladys,
    I was so horribly sad to hear of Lee’s passing. He was such a good and generous man. I consider myself very lucky to have known both of you and to have worked with Lee at Meals On Wheels. He will be missed by so many.

    I’m so very sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
