Read MoreB Lee was one of the finest people and friends I ever knew. As an employee I never felt being taken advantage of. Everybody I know and who knew him feels the same way. His legacy will always be positive. He left this world way to early.

Dear Marilyn and Family,
Having known Lee as a past employee of Skilken/Roslovic, and as a friend, I will always remember Lee as one of my mentors who taught me a lot about American business and success. His positive attitude and friendly demeanor towards people will stay with me always.

Dear Marilyn and Family,
I am another carcinoid patient who benefitted tremendously from the occasional talks with Lee. My husband Tom and I send you all our most heartfelt condolences. Lee was a mighty advocate, will be sorely missed, and most fondly remembered.

Dear Marilyn,
I am so sorry/shocked to learn of Lee's passing. He and I chatted on the phone every now and then and he has been on my mind lately. If I would have known, I would have been there to support you and your family, along w/ saying my farewells to Lee. Please forgive me for not keeping in touch better. Even though Lee and I were very different, we were very much alike, when it came to our personal war on Carcinoid. I so enjoyed my talks w/ Lee. I will miss him very much. On...

You were all so lucky to have him in your life. What a man to have in your life all those years. I recently lost my father and know how hard it is - all I can say is...
