Not sure what to say?

I first met Lee when I started working at SRDS in 1978. He was an excellent educator and a leader in the school, heading the Lower School. He ended up as a friend and mentor to me. I will forever be thankful to Lee for all he did for SRDS and myself. My fondest memories will be of Lee as the Varsity baseball coach.

As a fellow member of the Saddle River Day School faculty, I remember Lee as a teacher and administrator that always put the children´s needs first. Lee was an excellent teacher and a good friend.

On the anniversary of Lee's passing, I am reminded of just how versatile Lee really was. He was not only a great Dean and leader, he was beloved in the classroom as a teacher and on the athletic field as a wonderful coach and leader. He touched so many students and athletes and will long be remembered.

Some of my fondest memories of my youth were playing basketball with Lee Wilson as my coach. What a fine man!

I met Lee when I started teaching at SRDS in 1979. Lee was a wonderful teacher, administrator, coach and man. He always gave all he could to everything he did and he was a great asset to SRDS in all his years of service. He will be greatly missed and long remembered by the many students and teachers he touched over the years. RIP Lee.

I loved Lee Wilson.... wonderful teacher and role model.... I will forever remember him with the fondest of memories....

I am so sorry to hear of Lees passing. I always looked forward to seeing him again at SRDS functions. He will be missed by so many of his former students and colleagues.
