Not sure what to say?

I met Lee at a Union Label Trade Show many years ago while he was with Winchester. His booth was part of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers group which I emceed for many years. I introduced myself at his booth and after a short conversation he asked me where we could get a snack. I showed him where the hospitality rooms for the vendors and the rest was history. We remained friends for years and while in Connecticut we visited him and toured the Winchester plant....

Lee was an amazing man. I became friends with him as we both worked for Winchester. He was one of the most knowledgeable men I have ever met. Whatever he was involved in he gave his all. He was very kind and generous. I will always remember him and am glad I was one of his many friends.

A fellow tenor in the vocal chords, I had the pleasure of sitting immediately to Lee's left or right the 5 years I've been in the group. Lee was a man with a story for every occasion and a witty comment for any situation. He brought joy and good humor to those around him, and a persistent optimism in the face of life's adversities. He was talented, accomplished and modest...a rare combination. A man to be respected and emulated. Sincere condolences to his family.

I knew Lee through the Vocal Chords. We were both tenors though my skills pale in comparison. I enjoyed our conversations. To say they were interesting would be an understatement. He will be missed. My condolences to his family. Jerry Perrone Vocal Chords

I knew Lee through MHVC where I, too, am a tenor. Too short a time. I looked forward to seeing him Tuesday nights and picking-up where we left off the week before. God knows we both had plenty to discuss though my stories certainly paled in comparison. One heck of an Obituary! Two words, Great Guy.

It was a pleasure to know Lee, I enjoyed singing with him in choir, love and sympathy to his family at this difficult time
