February 16, 2023 . With deepest sorrow we announce that Lee Winston Ammann, our beloved son, husband, father, family member and friend to many, passed away suddenly on Saturday, February 11, 2023.

He was a wonderful, fun-loving father and never met a stranger, being, as the situation required, goofy, funny, sympathetic, and compassionate. He was generous with his time and always strove to lift up those family and friends who needed help. And his smile could light up a room and always brought an answering smile to others.
