James and I rented his condo in Amherst, NH back in 1999 and he was a great landlord. We loved living there on the 8th hole! We also got together with him for dinner after we had moved out. It has been years since we last have seen him. Our sincere sympathy goes out to the family.

Played in a golf league with Lee for the past 6 years. He was always a pleasure to play against, he always had complimentary words about his opponents shots, he was always fun to play with - he will be missed. R.I.P. - Jeff
