My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his family.
Having listened in many a night over the years and checking a few times, Ricky Lee never failed to put a smile on my face or give me a good chuckle. It was always a pleasure to stop on 3933 and hear him. Amateur radio was blessed with his presence and I will sorely miss him.
Rest In Peace my friend and Best 73's

Loved it when you were NCS for the Rooster Net. No one ran it like you. Rest in peace "Neighbor". And don't forget: "You know yours and I know mine." 73, Barry Jr K4RUE

I have always enjoyed chatting with Rick since he joined the Rooster Net in 2002. I thought he was a great guy and a lot of fun. We had eyeball QSOs at the Rooster Gala in PA. It was a pleasure knowing him. Enjoy the ops in the Great Hamshack in the Sky Rick. 73 My friend. Paul WD4EBA.

I have only known Ricky for about two years. I talked to him almost every night on my ham radio during that time. He was one of the best and most caring people I have ever talked to. I will miss him very much. GOD BE WITH YOU , MY FRIEND......73 From W3IXN
