Happy 78 heavenly birthday Dad!! Miss you and think about you every day! Thank you for watching out for my boys!!

7 years feels like yesterday. Missing you Lee- you were a cool dude. The nice thing about moving away from home when you're 18, is that time stands still & you remember everyone as they were then, no one ages in your mind. So I remember you as you were then and that gives me comfort. I hope you are resting easy, my brother. Larry, my dear friend, if you read this, my thoughts are with you and all of the Ballerini family today. Love you all

Lee was a great person ,lee and Bobbie both would do anything for you when I knew them .we had lots of good times together with our ballerinas Texas inn group, I miss those days I know they helped my brother and sister out a lot and treated them like family. Gonna miss you fran

Lee was the cousin who was close to my age. I remember his family and mine doing New Years Eve when we were young. When Lee joined the service I tested I always wanted a Ballerini reunion but never got to Illinois when he did. You will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to you Larry my friend for over 50 yrs. I didn't know Lee very well but knew his wife Bobbi n her family. I remember going to the restaurant /tavern in SV when they had it also. All the BallerinI men were very nice n just a little crazy...lol. I also knew Lee's children as worked with his daughter n had a few drinks with Lee Jr. My love to you all.

O Loving Father and Savior, send your angels to carry the soul of your servant from this earth to the heavenly place of eternal and everlasting life. Let family and friends who have passed before in faith be reunited in joy with the departed. Forgive any wrongs that have been committed and welcome this beloved spirit into the warm embrace of your unending peace. Amen.

Even though I didn't know Lee, I know Larry and he's great people so I'm sure Lee was, also. RIP Lee and may your spirit live on in those you loved. thank you for your service to this great country! .....ps. Larry, thank you for making me cry with the song you chose :( Great photos! RIP brother man! My condolences to all of the family <3 HUGS
