I loved Lee so much that at times it hurt. He was and is the best that has ever happened to me, a true gift from G-d. I am so blessed and happy that he was my friend, soulmate, and husband. The love of my life. He is in heaven now and all I can do is hope for that day when we are together again. Thank you again for sharing your love for Lee, the many emails and phone calls I have received have made my loss almost bearable. Please never forget Lee.

I have been out of farm radio for five years but I can still recall many wonderful vivid memories of him standing tall in his signature cowboy hat. My thoughts and prayers to Aurora and the rest of his family. Lee was a very friendly person.

He was warmth, caring and kindness personified. Rest well, my friend. You will always be remembered with a smile. Lee was one of those wonderful folks whose mere presence lit up a room.

Ellis (Denver CO Fri, 23 May 2008 19:21:55 +0000 http://agwired.com/?p=5464#comment-54249 I have had the joy of knowing Lee since his middle school days in Duncan OK. He was a loyal, humorous, faithful friend to me all these years. In the past few years we were together each time he came to Denver on business. We shared meals and laughter each time we got together. He could share his struggle with cancer and in doing so truly inspired all who knew him. We prayed together and his confidence in God's love for him was steadfast. He was truly one of the most gracious men I have ever known. He loved both the strong and the weak. His relationship with God sustained him to the very end of his life on earth. I remember well him playing basket ball in high school and his friendship with so many in our school. His eyes simply came alive when he talked of Aurora and his family. We are the blest ones by knowing Lee. May the Lord grant him eternal rest in the presence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that he well knew to be one God, now and forever.

There was only one Lee McCoy, and it's hard to believe he's gone. I go back more than 20 years with Lee when I worked in the Communications Department of the National Cotton Council in the mid-1980s and he was a Texas farm broadcaster. He had a big booming voice and an even bigger heart. He could also strike up a conversation with anyone -- even perfect strangers. When Lee made the move from the Texas-Oklahoma region to his newfound home at Southeast AgNet, he always would call me when he passed through Memphis. Even if he only had a few minutes to chat on the phone, he never missed an opportunity to call an old friend. I have attended numerous cotton industry events through the years and have always enjoyed Lee's company. He may be gone, but he isn't forgotten. It was my privilege to have known him, and my thoughts and prayers are with his wife Aurora and family. Tommy Horton Editor Cotton Farming magazine Memphis, Tenn.
