Not sure what to say?

God bless you Lee. You were probably the brightest of the bright in the Class of 1960 and your accomplishments clearly showed that . Rest well in heaven my friend you have truly earned it.

We are sorry to hear the news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lee's family at this difficult time. Lee was an inspiration to me early in my career at Ford Research. Like a favorite professor, he was somebody who really stood out. He loved his job and the people he worked with. I have always tried to follow his example, to find the work I love, to embrace it, and to enjoy the ride with my fabulous Ford colleagues. Learning of his passing brings back so many fond memories. I am...

I am very sorry to hear the news of Lee's death. Dr. Feldkamp was one of the great scientists of the Ford Research Laboratory. It was a honor to be in the Labs with Lee for two of his four decades at Ford. I remember him as one who always had time to consult and mentor colleagues, and you always felt smarter coming off a conversation with Lee. He leaves an incredible body of work as an intellectual legacy and he leaves behind hundreds, if not thousands, of colleagues who have been directly or...

I'm so sorry to learn of Lee's passing. I began with Ford Research in Physics in 1969; same year as Lee. His office was just a few feet away from mine. He was simply one of the brightest people I came to know through Ford Research, which was in itself a magnet for good scientists in the 1960's. Every time I hear about CT, I think of the work that Lee and Jerry Jession did on this subject before it became a standard procedure at the doctor's office. Lee had an infectious laugh and smile and...

We were saddened to hear of Lee's passing. Two strong UM PhDs, who became Ford Sci Lab scientists after graduation, passing within a week of each other, with Irv Salmeen's passing last week. As noted in the obituary, Lee proved his brilliance in many areas and especially noteworthy for a "car guy" was the Feldkamp filter for CT scans in the early 80s! Later using his mathematical brilliance, we all had fun watching the AmericaOne team, as well as his contributions to Aston Martin. When...

I’m so sorry to hear of Lee’s passing . I grew up with the Feldkamp s in Plymouth. What a great family! They were special, not just to our neighborhood, but to the community. We always knew Lee was destined to be & do something special. Even as a young man, his brilliance was evident. But , he would take the time to “try” to explain things to us in a way we might understand. He’s was a great athlete too. I saw him once run down a Phesant, catch it, show it to us and then explained...
