Dear Nancy, Jim and all Hegi families, My deapest sympathies to your families for your loss. Lee was such a nice man. I'll always remember him and his watermelons and cantalopes. Even when I was a little girl, we would go for drives in Polk county to buy watermelons at the Hegi Farm. And later when I lived in the neighborhood, he was always a very good neighbor. He will be sorely missed.

Bernice, Nancy, Dick, Don, & Bob, and families, We just heard this evening from one of your neighbors, Bob Slusarski, that Lee passed away. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Bob and I have many fond memories of life with the Hegis. Nancy and I go way back to college days at MLC and Pizza Hut summer softball and so many memories spending time at the Duncan Lakes and the farm where we learned how to water ski, went snowmobiling during college breaks, sold watermelons, and made mints for our wedding at the Hegi home, just to name a few. Bob and I were always welcome at the Hegi household and for that we are grateful. It was so good to see all of you at Nancy and Jim's wedding where we got to see Lee for our last time. Our thoughts, prayers, and all of our wonderful memories of the Hegis will be with you. Lee was blessed to have a wonderful wife and family that cared about him so much, especially in the years of his failing health. May you all hold fast to God's promise of eternal life for Lee and all who believe in His son Jesus. God bless you all during this time of emptiness. Our hugs to all. Bob and Lana Urban

Bernice, Nancy, & Family It is hard to leave the one you love. Bernice, you and Lee were the perfect couple.Thank you for your generosity and kindness through out the years.I don't know how you and Lee put up with us kids at times. Lee's love for the land and his family was so important to him. My best memory of Lee was how he would enjoy that "BIG" bowl of icecream. Sorry we were unable to attend Lee's sevices. Our prayers are with your wonderful family.

We were both honored to have known such an amazing man. I was blessed to have grown up around the Hegi farm on all my visits from California- a one of kind experience at the Big Red Barn farm. Don has been a wonderful Uncle and all the Hegi family so loving to our family. Lee's grandchildren Karen, Eric and Nate are loved deeply. God Bless you Lee! Your spirit lives on!

I feel very honored and blessed to have met Lee during the Kuta Reunion. If it wasn't for one of Peter Ward's tours throughout Columbus and Duncan, I never would have made it to the Hegi Farm and met Lee. So, Thank you! May God continue to comfort you during this challenging time. God Bless You All!

Our prayers are with all the Hegi family. A great family sharing love and friendship to everyone they meet. If it wasn't for Lee's farm this good old "California Girl" would never have harvested chickens (with an ax), road cows and pigs and experienced the true midwest. Even my son Braden got to visit the farm. Great memories of Lee in his overalls, on the tractor and in the truck. Enjoyed his wine making too. He will be missed. The Magues

Dear Bernice & Family, Times shared at your home I will always cherish as a true NEBRASKAN welcome. Regardless, of how busy you and Lee were you always took time for a visit. He was a very lucky man to have the love and sincere care. Nancy's wedding was a special event and as a father I know he had to have had a tear in his heart..his only daughter. What a good time we had! A nice memory I'll remember of Lee. You have a lovely family and hope to see you my next trip. God bless you and take care of yourself. San Francisco, Pete

Mrs. Hegi and family, We wish to express our sadness at the death of your husband and father. We enjoyed time spent with you at Golden Living Center when Lee and our dad, Hilger, were roommates. We pray that our Lord will give you comfort and peace, and a sure hope of a happy reunion in heaven with our loved ones who also claimed Jesus as their Savior.
