A buddy of mine that builds Wal Mart Supercenters went down sat morning in his Bell helicopter near Horseshoe Lake. We don't know what happened if it was a heart attack or mechanical. Our Prayers are with his family.

Dutch dog he was a fun guy to be around. We had a golf tournament in shelby and Lee did'nt play golf but he borrowed an old cart and went riding. When he came back to the club the cart had no brakes and ran the thing through the wall and into the club bar. Lee looked around and said "bar tender give me a bud". He was a very funny guy.

torch sorry for the loss of a friend. lee catt was a big name in crittenden county,everyone that knew him says he was a super guy. i did not know him,just his company. i have heard he was quite the crazy guy.
my boss is neighbors with his son and says that the helo was not really broken up. says all of the glass was still intact. the only breaks were the tail section and one landing gear. some folks are thinking that he may have had a heart attack and fought it down.
prayers coming for his family.
