Denyse,
I was so sad to read about Lee's passing. His kind heart, willingness to serve, and warm sense of humor will always be remembered from the days of Stephen's training. May your days be strengthened by his memories and good friends.

Denyse,
Lee was one of the good guys and, while a student at CNU in the early seventies, I treasured my friendship with you both. I have come to believe that life is a laboratory for learning and that friends are the family we choose for ourselves.

Denyse, Bryan, and Mark - I was deeply saddened to learn of Lee's passing. He was the quintessential gentleman and a scholar. His warmth, intellect, and keen sense of humor made it a joy to be in his company, and the scope of his unselfish service to others was remarkable. May the good memories afford you a sense of joy and peace.

Denyse, you might recall that in the early 70s, we were Hilton neighbors, so I sometimes saw you, Lee, or both strolling in the Village with your then very small boys. I recall the boys also appearing as the unfortunate children in a production of MEDEA at CNC. And now Bryan is working with Greek drama in NYC.
Although Lee and I were not in the same department, we were colleagues at CNC/U for several decades. It was while we were both serving on a major committee that met...
