Lee K. Abbott

Lee Abbott was among the most important people in my life. He was a mentor, later a friend, occasionally a surrogate father. He was these things for many people, a burdensome situation he handled with grace and occasional grumpiness. He was also a truly original writer, a singular stylist, a thing that might now have become unfashionable in part because hardly anyone is capable of it. Hardly a week goes by that I don't miss him being available to talk or correspond. A couple of years before...

You and that Las Cruces crew made my Deming High School memories so rich. Thank you.

So shocked to hear of Lee's passing. Our condolences to his family and friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort give you the strength to endure. During this sad time in your life. Again I'm so sorry for your loss. BH

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I will always remember good laughs and brilliant conversation some 50 years ago. And working on Lee's bicycle. I cherish his stories. I've been rereading them for years, and I will continue rereading them.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you receive strength and comfort from God. "He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you." - 1Peter 5:10

I wish i could have known you longer. I will take care of Natalie. My little sister will be in loving hands. I know you would want that. Love, Brad

I am Truly and deeply sorry for your Loss. My warmest condolences go out to the family and Friends of Lee. May the God of all comport Grant you peace and Strenght during difficult time (Psalm 91:11).
