I don't know why, but yesterday I found my self thinking of Lee and in turn some of our other friends like Ed, Harry, Nick and Rick Stamm. I didn't realize it the anniversary of his passing. As I said last year, I think of him often and miss him.

I received a notice from "Legacy" of the anniversary of Lee's passing. I think of him often and miss him. He was a dear friend. I take solace in remembering so many good times we shared over the years. I was fortunate to share many good, no, great, times over a 25 year period of my life and I will never forget them, or Lee. I loved laughing with Lee.

Lee was a wonderful boyhood friend. As a kid, he made me laugh more than I ever knew how before I knew him. I wish I could have had the opportunity to say goodbye, or never needed to. I just hope his mom has forgiven me for falling in her goldfish pond. Sorry we lost touch for so many years Lee.
Rest in Peace my friend.

My heartfelt sympathy to Lee's loved ones.
There are a group of Lee's friends grieving about his passing. I see our names showing up on this page expressing our sadness and our love for him. He was light and laughter. He was also my guardian angel in my younger days. I'll cherish memories of Lee always.

I just found out about Lee's passing. I am deeply saddened by this and my heartfelt sympathies go out to his mother and his family. He came from a wonderful family and I miss the great times we spend together at the beach (fishing, boating, etc). Lee and I spent a great deal of time together before, during and after college. We were in Boy Scouts together, he was my college roommate and the best man at my wedding. He was a generous person, always a reliable friend and a truly decent person. Even though I haven't seen him in almost 20 years, I thought about him often and will miss him greatly.

I just found out from searching Google. I had not seen Lee since 2001 when I visited he and his family in Cooperstown. I am saddened by this and wish I had been able to have seen him more. I met Lee in Williamsport at Lycoming College and we became good friends. He was a great guy and I will miss him. I am attaching a photo . My sympathies go out to his mother Norma, who is a wonderful lady and the rest of his family. We used to call him Uncle Lee because he could tell great stories. We had many good times together at the beach, canoeing, camping and just getting together on a weekend. I will pass this on to his other good friends, Ed Zwicky and Harry Pedersen. I am attaching a photo from 1989 on one of our many camping trips, left to right: Harry, Steve Vail, Steve Blank(me), Lee's head with one of his usual expressions and Ed Zwicky. Again, my sympathies to all.

I always remember my cousin Lee playing with me and joking with me and running around with me when we would have family time together! At least we can find some comfort in knowing he's off fishing with with Uncle Roly! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Much love to you from us!

Aunt Norma, Linda, Pat and family,
Lee's light here with us has dimmed, but will forever glow brightly in heaven. Find a bright star and know that is Lee watching over you, Gabrielle, Amanda and Sean always.
