Lee was a good buddy of mine in high school. Not once did I ever see him in a bad mood. He was always smiling and being friendly to everyone. I remember in freshman year I wasn't the most social kid and was somewhat outcasted, but Lee didn't see or think that. He always said hi and talked to me. Although we didn't keep in contact after we graduated, I still value the kindness he showed me. He was a great friend and I'll miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Lee volunteered at Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry in New Haven, most recently last Saturday. He was a steady volunteer, eager to help and said he really liked volunteering and would be back. We are saddened by his death.
