Although I didn't see him often, I'll never forget my trip to Ireland and the gracious hospitality of Pete and Anne when I stayed with them (nor will I forget the big Irish breakfast Pete cooked for me). I am happy to have known him.

To my dear friends, Karen and Dan and to the entire family of Peter Lee.
Though I did not know Mr. Lee I have been blessed with the friendship of Dan and Karen Shea and their children. Often children are an extension of their parents. Based on what I now of Karen, Dan & Co. I can only imagine that Peter Lee was one terrific person who I would have been privileged to know.
My deepest sympathies to the Lee family for your loss.
Karen, my apologies for being unable to attend the services.

There will be countless pint glasses tipped in Mr. Lee's memory over the coming days and nights. I had the privilege and pleasure of Mr. Lee's gracious company on many occasions and I was the better for it. He generously supported our softball team, a group of once young men who have grown much older but who have continued to return to the IV for more than twenty years to enjoy its steadfast geniality. And that is how I will remember him, a steadfastly genial and generous man. As a devoted member of the Irish Village family I am saddened at the passing of our IV patriarch but my spirits are lifted for having known him. May he rest in peace.

To all the Lee’s and formerly Lee’s

I was saddened to hear of your loss when Timmy Collins called, again bearing bad news.
It’s tough to express one’s thoughts in times like this, but Pete will always be remembered kindly as he heads back Home. God Bless!

An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
