Lee was a great man with a big heart and a quick wit. His sincerity, intellect, and generosity will be sorely missed.

This was a truly Christian man, who practiced his profession in a manner consistent with the teaching of his Faith.
As his Pastor, I called on him many times to see poor patients and he did so, sometimes at his own expense. He looked after my family's needs with never a co-pay.
He once told me that he had delivered more than a thousand babies in his earlier practice, before his specialty. One wonders how many nights of sleep were interrupted.
La Jolla has lost one of its best in the passing of Dr. Vida. La Jolla Presbyterian Church was given excellent leadership by him and his former wife, Marge.
May his Lord to raised Lazarus to new life remember this Saint on the Day of Resurrection!

We were saddened to read in the paper today about the passing of Dr. Vida. He and my father, Dean Chenoweth, were high school classmates and long-term friends. As kids, my sister and I loved visiting the Vida house while our parents visited. He left quite a legacy.

It was my great pleasure to met Dr. Lee Vida at the investment club at the La Jolla Community Center. He was so kind, sweet and smart. He surely made a great investment in people for the good of mankind. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,

I knew Lee Vida, first as a medical colleague, in practice as an ophthalmologist, then I became his patient and respected him even more. He was compassionate and competent and brought the traits from his family practice for long term care into his ophthalmology practice.
I had moved away and returned to La Jolla and in 2009 Lee Vida, MD sponsored me to become a member in the La Jolla Rotary club, where he had once been president and he was still a member.
Like my personal association with Lee, the Rotary Club has been a real addition to my life. I am grateful to him and will miss this fine human being.

Lee was a kind and generous soul and a mentor to me for many years, a founding member and guiding force of our Board at LJCC, and literally my Mentor when I joined La Jolla Rotary. One could not find a better Mentor to stand by your side. Lee was always there, with wisdom and with a kind word. Our lives are richer for having known him, and we shall miss him. Condolences to Rhonda and family.
