Lee played a significant role in my life. I worked for him as a young man when in school. Also when I finished my active duty. During that period he arranged an interview for me with Black & Decker. That resulted in a career path which I followed until my retirement. I was fortunate enough to call and talk to him last year and thanked him for all he had done for me. He will forever be in my thoughts.

To Mr. Holcomb's Family: Mr. Holcomb was a true gentleman and one of the nicest businessmen that I have ever known. My grandfather bought all of his cars from Harford Motors, a trend that trickled down to my mother, my sister, and me. We loved our Ramblers! He was another true "old Harford County" legend and will be greatly missed. Roxanne Dayhoof Burton
