Carol,
I was so sorry to hear about Bunky's passing. I know it's been a rough year. I do hope that you are able to hold the memories close. It does make things easier. This past year without my dad has flown but having those memories has really softened the blow.
Love Karen

Dear Carol, Kelly, Kurt, and Eric, it was so hard for you all the past few months. He was such a good soldier, went through all those treatments, and never complained. He fought the good fight. He was such a good friend , and always very kind to me. I will certainly miss him, love, Suzanne

Dee and Family,
I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. When I lost my Dad four years ago, it was devastating losing a friend. I'm sure the times are dark at this point. But, as time has moved along, I have seen my Dad in so many different ways, with so many wonderful memories. I hope you are able to feel the peace and comfort of the ones around you. Sincerely, Bob

My deepest sympathy to the Lee (Bunky) Carlson Family -- I knew Lee as Bunky from HS days -- he was a true scholar athlete -- a greet hard running blocking fullback - a key to our offense -- always polite, friendly and kind words to all of us.-- Lee will be deeply missed (Rest-in-Peace)

Carol -
My condolences to you and your family. I had no idea he was so ill. I have wonderful memories of "Bunky" and hope he had a peaceful passing. Time helps to heal the loss of a husband, but it takes a while. You are in my thoughts.
Carol

Carol,
Saddened to learn of Bunky"s passing. He looked great and seemed to be in fine spirits when I saw him at Columbus Hall a year ago. Lee was a really fine guy, great leader, and lots of fun to be around. Best to you.

To the family of Lee Carlson - I have often wondered about him and am sad that he is gone. I worked for him during the time I attended college, and afterwards, at the Dennison Carter's Division of Dennison Mfg. (circa 1984 - 1989). In my first "real" job, it was Lee who taught me: "information, not data!" I remember him fondly and my thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time.
