Not sure what to say?

We became friends while growing up in South Freeport, Maine. Unfortunately I lost touch with him after Jr.High, so it´s great to learn about his achievements and impressive life events. My heart felt sympathy goes out to his mother and his other loved ones . B. White , Oct., 2022

Rest In Peace Lee

I worked with Lee at ICOS. He was a well respected scientist! He was a great guy and an inspiration to us all. I can still remember him pulling up to ICOS on his road bike with a smile on his face. He will forever be missed.

Lee lived his life with faith to be the very best he can be as The Almighty gifted him ---with unfailing pursuit of passion and graciousness in being a friend, a scientist, a climber, cyclist, runner and all others, as well as a cook. I think that a person who can do that also believes in resurrection with the Risen Lord. To be comforted that eternal life is His now with His maker where , one day, we join him as well. "There is no greater man than one who lays his life for his friends."

I don't think I have ever met a nicer or more genuinely friendly person in my life. Lee always had a warm smile for anyone he came across and it was my honor to have known and worked with him at ICOS. I wish peace for his family and friends, as he will be truly missed by all.

Lee will be so missed. The memory of his friendship, smile, and laugh will always bring a smile. Our prayers and love go out to all who knew and loved him, especially his family.

Oh what a life!
What life!
What a friend!

Evelyn, Dale, Ellis, and Lee, I think of you, and the space that Lee continues to hold in your hearts. His feet, heart, and passion were rooted in a value system deep and enduring. In looking back on the 32+ years I've known him, I can remember nothing but good times with him: skiing (always the side of the trail), diving, hiking (pretty darn quickly, at that), drinking (a discerning beer drinker, he was), talking...

Lee was wonderful to work with at ICOS and I enjoyed catching up with him since then. He was so busy living life to the fullest. I will always remember him with fond memories of his grin as he enthused about his latest adventure.

I worked with Lee in Davis. He sat across the lab bench from me and would tell me stories about his adventures. And he always made me laugh when he did his exaggerated Mainer accent! It still makes me smile to think about him.
