Memories and Condolences
for Lee Masover

Not sure what to say?





what a shame, it was about seven years ago! Lee was taken from his loving family and devoted friends waaaaay too soon. Lee was a giant among mere mortals, a prince, a gentleman, the kinda guy women adored and other men wanted to be like. Sincere and unpretentious, I´ll always miss him. Once again, our condolences are conveyed on this dubious anniversary. May his memory be a blessing. XXOO

I'm heartbroken to hear of Lee's passing. I met Lee when I became friends with Cindy in law school. Lee was always gracious, generous, and kind to me. A truly good soul. My thoughts and prayers are with Cindy, Samantha, Alex, and their extended family. I'm so very sorry you lost Lee.

I went to Madison and Lincoln with Lee before parting ways to Niles East and West. I was able to catch up with Lee at a couple of recent Lincoln Jr. High reunions. It was awesome to reunite with him, he was still the same great guy I remember from my youth. To the entire Masover family I would like to extend my deepest sympathy.

Lee was a special and caring man, he was an inspiration to me throughout my sales career in plastics. He was an honest, hard working, family oriented man who was loved and admired by so many! His memory will live on forever in our memories and hearts. I can still see his smile and hear him call me kiddo.. I will cherish the lessons he taught me and hold those memories close to my heart. My deepest condolences to his wife daughters and family. Although I never met them I felt like I knew you all threw his stories and love for you!

Lee was one of the finest examples of man without peer.
Knowledgeable, kind, honest, loving, fair, supportive, caring, human, funny, humble, smart, a great leader and follower, a gentle soul, talented and a great family man.
There are no superlatives that can properly describe this man.
Cindy and the family have been blessed with having this man be part of their lives as I feel that I was very lucky to work for and with him for many years.
HIs legacy will always be remembered as anyone that knew him loved him.
