Lee Elis Widjeskog

Kathy, I am deeply saddened by your loss. We all lost a wonderful friend when Lee passed away. He and you were the "heart" of the Ripcord Association.

Sue and family, my sincere condolences. Lee was a classmate of mine. I´m sure he will be missed.

I spent many days at the Widjeskog home during college enjoying a fun and warm welcome. Lee was always a part of that and kept that spirit alive in a quiet strong way. He will be missed by the communities he touched and by his family most of all. Sending thoughts for strength and comfort.

Deepest sympathy to Kathy and family. Lee was such a great guy and did so much good for conservation and community. We will keep his loving memory in our hearts.

I had the l pleasure of spending time with Lee during annual field inspections we made to PSEG wetland restoration sites over the many years that we were both involved in the project. Being of similar age and backgrounds, we always enjoyed these times from both a professional and personal perspective. I am going to miss those opportunities, and I send you my greatest sympathy on the loss of Lee as the family man I know he was.

One of the neighborhood kids sadly gone. My brother Mike and I met Lee when he was 11. We had just moved to New Jersey in 1957. Playing Football, Baseball and Exploring the woods will be how we always remember him.

Cathy and family please accept our deepest condolences, I will miss our conversations we had from time to time and as my squad leader back then he was a man of positive thought and positive action, always to protect us. Lt. Lee will be greatly missed.
