I've told Lee this--- as he was my main piano teacher- he helped me get past the hump learning reading piano- he was a great teacher and organist at my prior church- sad news

I always enjoyed Lee's company at Wooster and we made a strong reconnection at our 50 year reunion. I wish I had been able to spend more time with over all those years and I am very sorry to hear that he in gone.

I´m so sad that I will never have another conversation with Lee. He was a very special person and his gift was making his friends feel special. I treasure my memories of Lee and loved our times together and dancing to the music. He always made me smile. My love and hugs to all that are missing him... especially to Jim. Their love was palpable.

I worked with Lee through the Artists-In-Residence program with Burton El. and the GRS so many years ago. He was a wonderful person to work with and a strong advocate for his school. I enjoyed working with him so much. I'm sad to hear of his passing. Sending my deepest condolences to his family and close friends.

Lee was one of my very closest
friends for over forty years. He was a loving, faithful and trusted friend who became part of our family. I will miss him so much as we did so much together and had a mutual need for one another. Grateful to have Jim to help me stay close to my dear friend Lee. So long friend; never goodbye. Love, Colleen

I worked with Lee several years at the Meyer May home. He had a great personality and was an overall joy to be with. He was so kind and informative to many visitors over the years. May you rest in peace Lee.

I am stunned to read this obituary in the paper. I consider Lee a good friend and we shared the same values. Our children were close friends. Jim, I am so very sorry this has happened and will hold you close in prayer and love.
Lee was a wonderful person and the world is less for his passing.
