Comments on: Lee McCoy Arrangements – Updated http://agwired.com/2008/05/23/lee-mccoy-arrangements/ What's new in the world of agribusiness Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:19:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tommy Horton http://agwired.com/2008/05/23/lee-mccoy-arrangements/comment-page-1/#comment-54281 Tommy Horton Wed, 28 May 2008 20:16:24 +0000 http://agwired.com/?p=5475#comment-54281 My earlier message might not have made it on to this site. So, let me say again that words can't really express what a special person Lee was to all of us in the ag media who worked with him for so many years. I traveled to many ag events with Lee and enjoyed his good humor, professionalism and friendship. He was a big guy with a big heart. We all knew that Lee had been battling cancer for a long time, and I have never known anyone with a more positive attitude. He simply refused to give up. I think we can all learn something from him in that regard. I have repeated this story many times, but every time Lee would be driving through Memphis on his way from Texas to Alabama, he would call me from the highway. We would catch up on all the news and chat about everything in the world....from the weather to politics to the price of gas in south Alabama. He loved people and had a contagious enthusiasm for everything that he was involved in on a day-to-day basis. I know I speak for many folks in the cotton industry when I say that we miss you, Lee. You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. Tommy Horton Editor Cotton Farming magazine Memphis, Tenn. My earlier message might not have made it on to this site.
