Lee was a colleague at the Goodyear Racing Division and one of the regular lunch bunch. I treasure those times and the couple of F1 races we did together... an unforgetable character.

Lee and I travelled together in the 60's many Trans Am, F.A, & Can Am's. In those days we got a small table in the back for the airplane & played cards while flying to Riverside.
Lee was a great friend. I was happy to see his brick at the A/C airport. It sits nexy to my sons, and I "was going" to call him about it.
My sympathy to his family.
