God, family and friends will heal your heart. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Lee was a good friend of my father, Emil Mitman, both socially and at PP&L. I remember when Lee graciously helped with painting when I bought my house near Mountville. His generosity and amiable nature will be remembered.
