Eileen and Family - I am so sorry for your loss. Lee was the most warm and sincere friend I have ever had. We worked together at FFIC and he was always a friend who would go the extra mile. I always enjoyed hearing about his activities, family and his love for Pittsburgh sports. As his flame goes out, the world is not as bright. He was the best and I will always miss Lee.
