I first knew Lee when I was about 10 years old. We did lots of silly stuff over many years. Lots of memories, lots of laughter. Sorry to see him go.

So sorry to hear of Lee's passing. He & I went back to Millard Lefler days when we were both in the "jazz Band". Such good memories of him. He was his own man and a truly a good man who will be missed by all who knew him.

I first met Lee in fifth grade at Randolph School. We became pals at LHS and remained good friends for the rest of Lee's life. I talked to him every day when we did the crossword puzzle and the other puzzles in the daily paper; and once a week we met up to get fast food that we would take to his house. Lee could be a frustrating character at times, but he was always fun to be around. Lee and I, obviously, got on well; and his passing will leave a big hole in my life since he's played a very big role in it. I'll sure miss him.
