Send FlowersThe Incurable Collector
Bayonets. Eagles. Baseball cards. Hess trucks. Vinyl records. Matchbooks. Coins. Stamps. Old record players.
These were some of the things Gary H. Lee collected. Just about anything might meet his criteria and turn into a full- blown collection.
Mr. Lee, 62, and known variously as Uncle Dude, Big Gary or Pop Pop, lived with his wife, Eileen, in Lindenhurst, on Long Island, where the attic was very full. There is all this World War II gear up there — helmets, uniforms, bayonets. He had something like 150 bayonets and swords, 40,000 baseball cards, dozens of statues and pictures of eagles, every birthday and anniversary card he ever received. "He was collecting his whole life," said Gary A. Lee, his son. "And he never sold anything."
Mr. Lee, a senior vice president at Cantor Fitzgerald, did not collect cars, but he always wanted a Studebaker. About 15 years ago, he bought a 1948 model that he lovingly restored and took to car shows, winning several first- and second-place trophies.
His wife and son are trying to sort through his myriad collections. Some of the bayonets are being donated to a new World War II museum that the town of Babylon is opening in Lindenhurst. As for the baseball cards, the eagles and the Hess trucks, his son is going to continue those collections. "I think he would want me to," he said.

I never had a chance to Mr Lee but I feel like I have met him through his son. His son in one of the most ethical, bright and hardworking men that I have ever met. To have such a fine son says a lot about a man.

I had the pleasure of working with Gary. He was in NY and I was in Toronto. We talked several times a day regarding the traders communication systems between the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York stock Exchange. Sending condolences to his family and fiends.

Eileen & Gary "A":
Hard to believe it's 10 years...I often think about Gary and can't count the number of times his name was brought up in conversation. We spent many years working together, first at RCA and then FTC and I should add he was a great co-worker and friend for all those years. I hope you both (and your family Gary) are doing well and wish you the best in the years ahead.
Aloha,
Ed Matthews
