Barricuda's

04/30/2023

Let us all get together to celebrate the life of Lee: Thursday, May 4, at 7:30 PM. There will be a taco bar, karaoke, and lots of stories and hugs to share.

Lee loved his regulars, and was proud that he could be a part of what would become a safe place for people within the community to build wonderful life long friendships. Lee loved his Barricuda’s family so much.

We hope to see you there! Let’s toast, let’s laugh, let’s sing. He would have wanted that, and he would have wanted to have his last hoorah in the place he loved so much. 💛

Thank you, Brett and Kevin.

Lee was the kind of person that would help anyone. He believed in hard work, having fun, and the importance of family and values.

For almost 30 years, Lee and his wife Mercy owned and ran Barricuda’s, serving a community that they very much loved. Lee was passionate about bringing people together with good food and drinks, and a safe place that people could feel comfortable in.
Throughout the years, he stood by that vision, and his love for his customers was immeasurable, and his hard work never faltered because his heart was in it.

There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do to help his employees. He was very old school in thought, but always valued and appreciated those that worked hard, and he was always supportive of those in need or going through hard times.

Lee passed away yesterday. He was a father, grandfather, son, brother, husband, and a fixture in a community of people that came together as a family in what was once only a dream for him.

You will be missed, Lee, and never forgotten. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication over the years. This community embraces your family as they mourn your passing.

A celebration of life will be planned in a few weeks at 3 Kilts. Updates will be posted here

We need positive thoughts. Things are not going as planned, but there is still hope. It may take longer than expected.

We hope to see you tonight at our
customer -employee appreciation & farewell party that will start at 7:00.

The restaurant will be closed from
4:00 -7:00, as we clean up and prepare food. We will be serving up a small buffet, and cheap drinks. The party will go until last call, and karaoke will be hosted by our awesome KJ, Sexy Jesus.

The love and support we have received this last week has been overwhelming, and all
of us at Barricuda’s are grateful beyond words.

We have a few prints left for sale (see our cover photo) from Karl Christian Krumpholz. He will be here tonight for anyone that is interested in purchasing one.

Stay in touch with our page, in the upcoming weeks ahead for any new news, but for now, let’s pay tribute to our Barricuda’s community, and to Lee and Mercy, who have created a very special foundation that has brought all of us together, creating a circle of family and friends that will never be broken.

See you tonight. 💛
