A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Monday at Evangelical Covenant Church, 1145 C St. The Rev. Tommy Thompson will officiate. His ashes will be scattered at Gunsight Mountain. Mr. DeHusson was born June 6, 1931, in Eland, Wis. He was a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and honorably served in active duty in the Korean War from 1951 to 1953.

His family said: "Our dad loved the Alaska way of life and he took his family camping, fishing and snowmachining. He taught us how to shoot and handle firearms and taught the boys how to hunt. His passion for the outdoors was used to provide for his large family. Every fall we had a moose or caribou to feed us through that year. We regularly enjoyed fish, geese and even rabbit on occasion. He taught us how to be prepared for emergencies and how to survive. As a result our homes and vehicles are well equipped for any unseen event."

Lee liked to sneak JR's batteries and headsets they were best of buds. Kristopher was Lee's buddy, he liked going to Lee's room to spend quality time with him watching TV. Kayla was Lee's little princess she could do no wrong, and always had kisses for Uncle Lee Linus was Lee's little buddy. He always helped grandma cook and than shared with Lee. He liked to pretend to be a puppy then Lee would pat him on the head and say "Nice puppy." Ashton was the one to crawl up on Lee's lap and watch TV Celeste was the baby. She was the twinkle in Lee's eye, he would hear her voice and they both would chuckle. His eyes just glowed when she smiled at him. Lee Loved going to work at BARC in his younger years he worked with the pallet crew, tied hammocks, packed toilet paper, worked on waxed paper, worked on recycling books and calendars, did stickers and capsuling. BARC was his extended family; they will all surly miss him. He loved all of his nieces and nephews. When we would go to Six Flags Great America, they were all stepping up to take him on his favorite ride "The Batman" his favorite, but any ride was just as good for him! Lee was always protecting anyone who asked him for help. When Keli or Deleana would be pretend fighting and they would ask for his help he would go and help. When you wanted to go swimming Lee was always up to going along. He would swim laps and sit in the hot tub. "You wise guy, yea!" "Help! Help save Me", "You blind?", "Shoes untied," "lost your pocket!" "Can you hear me now?" "Kiss Me" and "Bucky off" were a few of Lee's favorite sayings. They always brought a smile to everyone's face including Lee's. Lee Loved teasing! He would say "Your shoes untied" or "Lost your pocket" "a ZIP" as he ran his finger down your back! His love of teasing continued with name calling "bald head" & "Jeffrey Pie" and "OLD MAN" which stuck as a nickname for Lee. Lee loved to imitate "the THREE STOOGES" with lots of their silly antics. He loved Popeye and would roll up his shirtsleeve's to show his muscles were just like Popeye's, TV land was the most watched channel by Lee! He loved "I Love Lucy," "Bonanza," "Lassie," "Three's Company," "I Dream Of Jeannie, "My Favorite Martian," "The Brady Bunch," "Gunsmoke," "Leave it to Beaver," "Star Trek," "Beverly Hillbillies," "Gilligan's Island" and the list goes on... Lee Loved Hats such as Elvis, baseball, old ! man, Santa, bucket and any other type of hat you could find. He would wear them morning, noon, and night if you let him. Lee loved the outdoors Camping, oh my! He would tell you how he went when he was a little little little boy and if you asked him if he wanted to go, he would say yes and start packing! He loved giving the grandkids rides around the block in the basket of his adult three-wheeler bike, and going for walks. Some times he just wanted to go for a walk and off they would go for a walk with Uncle Lee. Lee's love of ELVIS was huge. He loved watching his movies and singing along with the "Kings" songs. Lee even would tell you, "I AM THE "KING" slicking back his hair and gyrating his hips like "ELVIS, THE KING". He loved to wear Elvis shirts and collected anything with Elvis, record albums, plates, ornaments, pictures, books, cards and watches. Lee had another love in his life, Nancy! He would do anything for Nancy and often would say, "I'm going to marry her!" but than would say, "Just kidding "She's married" and laugh. Big John as we referred to him was a great friend to Lee! And wo! uld write to him often, John had the biggest heart, even though Lee didn't write back, the letters and postcards kept coming. Lee had the liberty of doing the things he enjoyed most whether it was traveling to places like Las Vegas and Hawaii or going to the casino pulling the one-arm bandits. There was so much in life to put a smile on his face including watching his favorite TV shows like Star Trek, Bonanza, I Dream of Genie, and Gilligan's Island. And if it was Elvis Presley, Lee had to have it, because he was the King. Behind that Childish smile was so much more; a kind, gentle, loving man limited only by his imagination and he usually used that imagination to make others smile. He loved to play practical jokes. "Look its superman!" he would exclaim, infecting you with his laughter. He was always thinking about everybody else and wanted to be sure we were OK." He was devoted to his family and friends and he loved life. He loved us as much as we loved him "He made an impression on everyone who knew him. The fact that he had Down syndrome should really teach people that whether somebody has a dis! ability or not . . . that a person is a person first, and a unique individual," "I think Lee taught a lot of people a lot of things, not just about Down syndrome, but how to live your life - with passion, emotion and love . . . He taught us to be kind and caring to everyone and on behalf of our entire family we LOVE you, now bucky off so we can watch TV old man. Lee A.
