Carson Lee Fifer Jr.

Dear Sarah, Daniel & Meredith, It was an honor to attend Lee's memorial service on May 3. I am sorry for this belated message. I wanted to let you know that I have made a gift in Lee's memory to the WGTS 91.9 Spring Fundraiser. This is a Christian radio ministry which is entirely listener-funded. It broadcasts in DC Metro and on the Eastern Shore. I am thrilled to support the ministry in memory of Lee who believed so strongly in giving. Lee was a delightful tax client and a wonderful...

Lee was a friend and team member of the 1960 championship football team. Rest in Peace.

Potomac Riverboat Company was a better success thanks to great guidance from Lee in dealing with City lease matters. A joy to work with for many years. Always fun conversations. Terrific person.

We shared happy memories from Brown, Sigma Nu, grad school at UVA, Mt Eagle, fishing aboard the LeeMar/LeeSar, golf in MA, VA, SC, and FL, and a few memorable "pickin´ and grin in´ " sessions in which Lee entertained with both guitar and banjo. He was the first "Southern Gentleman" I´d ever really gotten to know and I mean that in the finest sense. He was friendly, kind, bright,...

How fortunate Alexandria is to have had such a friend and benefactor.
