I worked for Maj. Bobbitt in England for 2 1/2 years and he was the finest officer I ever worked with, he was always fair and honest. I lost track of him for 25 years and we became friends,again in the Master Blasters org.. He was the same gentleman I knew so many years before. I am going to miss him and the conversations we had. I wish my sincere condolences to Lee's family and God bless you all.

I have known Lee for many years, and our paths crossed many times at IHMSA matches. He was always a pleasure to be around, and was a fierce competitor. I am honored to have had him as a friend. My sincere condolences to his family. Rest easy, my old friend !
