Obituary
Send FlowersAlways on the Move
A safari last year. Paris in May. Skiing in Chile in July. Did Stuart Lee ever sit still? Apparently not. On Sept. 10, in fact, he and his wife returned from a trip to Japan and his native Korea. Good thing he had a travel agent handy — his wife, Lynn Udbjorg.
"He loved the best of everything," whether Champagne, Cuban cigars, or sushi, his wife said. (She had a sushi chef at his memorial service.)
For all Mr. Lee's travels, New York was his favorite city — especially the neighborhood where they lived, the East Village, with all its diversity. "He always liked Scandies" — Scandinavians — said Ms. Udbjorg, a native of Norway. "And he ended up marrying one."
After growing up in Vancouver, Canada, where his family moved when he was 6, Mr. Lee, 30, came to this country, later becoming a bond analyst and then a vice president at DataSynapse, a software company. On Sept. 11, jet lag and all, he was up early for a technology conference at the trade center.
An avid skier, he had long talked of going to Whistler, north of Vancouver, with a group of skiing pals. Now the others will do it. "This year we're going for him," his wife said.

Thought stream, missing Stu...
So often in my thoughts,
A movie we watched together,
A place where we laughed together,
A time we shared.
I miss you dearly.
Such a sad loss for this world.
You could bring people togher
and you would make them laugh.
What this world needs is more people like you,
Not less.
I cannot believe the void you left,
and how it will never be filled.
Now and then I see you in a far off corner,
Smiling ever...

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

Stu -
You always made me smile. That's what I remember the most about you. That and the fact that you were such a computer whiz, even in those days. Our ten year reunion for Cornell would have been this year. Would you have gone? I would have liked to introduce you to my son and my husband. I know you'd make them laugh.
The memories I have of those days are gently fading, but know that you made an impression on me, and on many others too. You will never be...

Stuart,
Yesterday, I sang in a performance of Mozart's Requiem to honor those who died on September 11, 2001. I didn't personally know anyone who died that day- but everyone who sang wore a badge bearing a victim's name. My badge read 'Soo-Jin "Stuart" Lee'.
At 8:45 AM, just before the concert began, I said a prayer for you, and I asked God to be with you, and with the people who love you. Today, I saw your picture, and read about your life. I am sorry that I never...

Every time I go into the garden I remember the last time I saw you sitting on a bench with your laptop. I'm sorry you're gone, neighbor. But your gentle, quiet presence will always be felt as the wind moves through the trees in our oasis in the East Village.
