Lee Corwin Obituary
December 15, 1918 - October 2, 2010
Lee died peacefully at home on October 2 at 91. Born in Piqua, Ohio, Lee came with his parents to Los Angeles in 1935. He attended U.S.C. and, upon graduation, entered the Army during W.W.II. Subsequently he worked in a variety of ventures until he was licensed as a stockbroker in the 1960's commencing his lifelong career as an investment broker and financial advisor, as well as a manager at several brokerage houses. Golf was his passion. A member of Hillcrest Country Club for over 50 years he served on its Board and was club champion in 1964. He also served as President of the Southern California Golf Association. He and his beloved wife Connie shared a love not only for golf but tennis and an outdoor life as well. Donations may be made in Lee's honor to The City of Hope Cancer Research Center.

One of my daughters went to U of Michigan. In 2000 they played USC in the Rosebowl. Lee arranged tickets and then hosted us all at Hillcrest Country Club. Next he arranged for my son to be an intern at Oppenheimer in NYC. And more... Lee was an uncommon and generous man.

Lee was a cherished friend who treated me like a member of the family. The lights of Los Angeles are not as glamourous without his presence and friendship. David Gabriel, Denver, Colorado and New York, NY

My Dear Connie, We regret we are not able to be with you at this time; however, you and Lee are in our thoughts and prayers. We lit candles in his memory at various houses of worship in Zurich, Lucerne and Lugano. Love, Bob, Nadine and Elizabeth

Lee was a true gentleman. He was a joy to be with. It was a great pleasure for me to have known him and I will always treasure the golf hat he gave me signed by Bob Hope and think of him fondly. They don't make many like Lee Corwin.

Lee was a great man - a man who loved his wife Connie, a good joke, a nice tie, and doing well for his clients. He was a life-long mentor to me and I will never forget his generosity of advice and encouragement. I will miss him very much.
