Not sure what to say?

We met Lee and Doris in Saudi Arabia thirty years ago when we all worked for Saudi Arabian International Schools. We shared incredible experiences as travelers in Egypt, Greece and China, etc. We met again as retirees here in the Coachella Valley. Lee's ready smile and easy manner always put others at ease. We shall miss his presence at our diez y seis parties. Lee was a good friend.

Lee will always remain in my memories of Istanbul, the crossing of the Bosphorus and all the good mezzes we share with Doris and friends . Farewell my dear friend and hello to Doris from me .

I will always remember Lee for those many tennis tournaments he and Doris organized at Villas de las Flores. In his unique way of scheduling, everyone got to play, there were multiple winners, funny awards, and NOBODY got mad !

We need more like Lee.....

Across the years,whenever I might talk to Lee on the telephone, I would always initially say to him "this is your favorite brother-in-law, Lee". This, of course, was true because I was the only brother-in-law. And it would also illicit further comment on his part plus a lot of laughter.

I will surely miss him.

The above from Tom Carlson, his "favorite brother-in-law".

Thank you Lee for volunteering for the Bob Hope Classic, I enjoyed working with you every year. We will miss you. God Bless

We are so very sorry to hear of Lee's passing. He was one of the most fun and entertaining guys we've known! He was always ready to serve some snacks and beer after tennis and hosted many a get together for anyone interested. When I first moved into his neighborhood and was looking for a tennis game and to meet new friends, he was right there setting me up with both. He will be sorely missed!
