I have a Beautiful paperweight with the flower inside that was a gift from Lee many years ago. It brings me back to his words of wisdom and peace every time I see it. I learned so very much from him, but especially patients and kindness to others always! Rest in peace my friend! Evelyn

As he was with so many others Lee was my mentor, friend and inspiration for doing the right thing, the right way for students. His unconditional positive regard for others was so refreshing during turbulent times. He continues to inspire me to do better for others. I miss his laugh, his smile and above all his friendship.

Lee was an inspirational mentor to me. I always knew that Lees heart would guide him and others to do the right thing for the right reason. I am still following his vision of unconditional love for all and only w that he were here, to tell him what a huge influence he has had on me and thousands of others. Rest in peace, my friend

I was out of town for Lee's service last year. I admired Lee so much. When I was in his presence there was a serenity that was part of his very being. He truly was an angel on earth. Sylvia Lee

I knew Lee from our work together at what was in the early 70's simply known as "Pima College." He brought love, laughter, trust, and kindness to the college's student, staff, and faculty bodies. We loved him dearly. His gifts will be with us always. Deep sympathy to family members and friends.

The entire Tucson community is indebted to you Lee for being our teacher and mentor in Christ. When my daughters and I arrived in 1991 you welcomed us with open arms at First Church. I will forever miss you. Much love, in Jesus' name, Ruth Cherrick
