Dr. Lee was the ultimate physician due to his knowledge, healing ways, such kindness that is so rare in a physician. ?He was David's physician for many years. and basically prevented him from having colon cancer. He can never be replaced in our hearts & minds. He will never be forgotten.
Condolences to this family for a loss that will remain with them always.

Most Sincerely,
David & Rebecca Stewart

Dr Lee was an amazing doctor. He loved his family and the pictures that he had on the walls of his office was proof of it. He was a kind, supportive and reassuring to his patients. He visited my Uncle Robert McGinley when he was in the hospital even though he had another health problem. He really cared and made sure that you were taken care of. His was the best man that I have ever met. I have not been able to go to anthor doctor since his passing. God bless his family and I hope that these memories help them.

Dr, Lee was a physician - a person - who listened to his patients; was thorough, gave insightful, researched information, so patients could begin to use that knowledge and work toward making their 'tummy-troubles' heal. One could get back that sense of well-being. We had confidence in and trusted Dr. Lee. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with his family, who he spoke of with love and pride.

Dr. Lee was not only an amazing Doctor, but also a really caring person. He always took the time to explain in detail what was wrong with me, and help me to understand the treatment plan that was going to be best to help me live as normal and pain free life that I could. My stomach was in bad shape due to ulcers that ruptured it, I had to have Endoscopes done once every 3 months when my ulcers weren't as bad, and once a month when they were bad. But, Dr. Lee always put my mind at ease, and was so kind to me everytime I saw him. He became my friend as well as my Doctor. He was also my elderly Dad and Mom's Doctor, and they loved him as well as I did. I am really going to miss him. R.I.P Dr. Lee. My prayers are with his family, friends, and patients. Love, Dena Burke

Patty, or that is what Dr. Lee always called you to me and my husband. We are so heartbroken for your loss and I am so sorry. Please except our condolences. It seemed like when ever I had an appointment for a scope I was always his last patient for the day and he would be running late to meet you lol... I do know he loved his family dearly especially you. Not only was he one of the greatest doctors I've had. He was a good friend to me and my family, he always had kind words and a warm heart. I want to thank you for sharing him with us because he saved my life, He found something really bad wrong and sent me to a specialist, thanks to him I'm still here. He has been my doctor since 1999 and it will be hard to find someone to replace him because where I've known him for so long as my doctor, he feels like family to us. He may be gone but he won't be forgotten and he will be greatly missed... R.I.P Dr. Lee...

February 5, 2014

To Dr Lee's family. Dr Lee was my daughter's doctor since was 14 years old. She is 22 now and is disabled and he was always kind enough to take her on as a pediatric patient. He was always willing to give her a hug, a kind warm smile, always waiting with her until she woke up, always listening to her, comforting her, aleving her fears. It was hard explaining to her that he is gone, but as soon as I explained that angels needs a good gi doctor up in heaven, she was ok with that. Please find comfort in the words we have all written here. I know it comes no where close to the whole that he has left. Carol Wolf

It saddens me to see one of the good guys leave us so soon. Dr. Lee kindly and graciously told me I had cancer. He supported me and my family through everything; even taking phone calls from me on his cell. It hit my family hard when we found out he was sick and harder now that he has been taken. God must have other plans for him. I pray God covers his family with love and gentleness only He can give. Thank you for allowing me to share a small part of how special Dr. Lee was to me and my family.
