Not sure what to say?

I just found this. I have so many beautiful memories of Lee, who I called "Lee Lee". We were room mates in Boston after attending BU.

I unfortunately will not be able to attend the memorial service tomorrow. My sincere condolences to...

I've known Lee since 1985 and stayed in touch, always checking in with him on an annual trip to London. I was fearfull when he did not reply in January this year and am deeply upset to learn of his passing. I will miss him
