Very sorry to hear this news. I remember him as a strong young man that hung around with my sister Linda. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

An inspiring man, will be deeply missed by all who had the wonderful chance to meet him.

I didn't realize what an icon your father was until reading these messages.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

To Roger and his family. So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. My thoughts and prayers are postedHe was simply a great guy to know. A true gentleman and humble as they come. You'll be sadly missed big Bill by all that met you over the years.

My sincere condolences go out to the Lee family. I remember your many football games on Mr Bradley's front lawn! My thoughts are with you at this time.

My sincere sympathies to the Lee family. Doing part time at CFRA-CFMO meant that I worked often with Bill who was always a kind and considerate gentleman with a great sense of humour.
He was always a calming influence.

Dear Mark, and the Lee family:
Heather and I were saddened to learn of your Dad's passing. Back in 65 I spent a couple of weeks working under Hal Anthony in the newsroom at CKOY. I was a really green broadcaster fresh out of the Maritimes. At Hal's urging, your Dad tried to teach me to be an announcer. I learned a lot, but was sent back East to minors for more seasoning. I finally got back to Ottawa in '71. Your Dad was warm, generous and a complete pro. We will all miss him! Mike Duffy

Roger and family,
Cathy and I are so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. I can always remember Bill with a big smile and warm greeting whenever meeting him on the street, at the old Glen Cairn Community dances or at the mall. A wonderful man. Our sincere condolences to the Lee family.

Our deepest sympathy to Doreen and Bill's family. I didn't have the pleasure of growing up with Bill but myself and my family will always treasure the memories of the great times we spent with him. We always looked forward to his visits and his stories of his children and grand-children. He was so very proud of each and every one of you. Bill was loved by our family and will be sadly missed.

With Much Love,

Donna, Mal & Family

To a great neighbour and friend for many many years. A fine man and great father to the children who we also enjoyed a great relationship and admiration for. You will be sadly missed but always thought of in such a positive way. All our wishes at this difficult time.

Dean, Kellie, Connor and Spencer,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Dear Doreen, Mark, Roger, Dean, Janine, Nancy and Tara & families,

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Bill. I have such fond memories of gathering with your family to watch football games so many years ago. I will always remember his kindness, gentleness and humour, not to mention his radio show (don't tell anyone - he would often bring me record albums from the station!). I can still hear his voice today. God bless.

Sincerely,

To the Lee Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.


Sincerely,

Tara: My sincere condolences on the passing of your Father. Although we have not seen each other in quite sometime I do remember you and I talking about your Father and my memories of hearing him on the radio and your many stories of your Dad and the Family. May he rest in peace.

Mark and family, sorry for your loss. Your dad still makes me smile when think of him.

Our condolences for the passing of your father, Mark. I lost mine in May. Prayers be with you and your family.

Mark,
Your mom & dad were fixtures at Ravens’ home games as well as those in Montreal & Kingston. You’d always go over afterwards to acknowledge their support and thank them for the guys. You were well brought up because of their influence, and you made sure you were around to comfort him when the end was near; no parent can ask for more.
Your dad was a good listener & had time for us anytime we came around, with that grin on his face & sparkle in his eye. He will be sorely missed.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Lee family and those friends & colleagues that share your loss.

My deepest condolences to Bill's family. I had the pleasure of working with Bill for a couple of years when I was a reporter at CKOY-BY in the late 70's and he was always supportive and encouraging in those early days of my career. He was a great talent and a great person.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to see that the great Bill Lee has gone. I remember him well from my first 26 years growing up in the Ottawa area, listening to the radio. Hearts and prayers all over the world are with you now. Our deep condolences,

My sincere condolences to the Lee Family. I had the opportunity to meet Bill through his son's Roger and Dean, and his son's in-law Ken and Mark, when we played fastball together in the Glen Cairn Men's Fastball League. Bill, including the rest of his family, were almost guaranteed to be in the stands throughout most of the season rooting for our team. Admiration goes a long way for a true fan. May memories like this bring you comfort in knowing that he was very much your fan and to all those he touched. Very saddened to hear of your loss.

Sorry to hear of Bills passing...I remember back in the 70/s when Mark would come in on weekends with his homework and do sports on OY.Also great memories at CFMO..

Our sincere condolences on the loss of a wonderful radio announcer, husband, father and grandfather!

Bill was so very well respected in the Glen Cairn community and will be missed by so many.

We have fond memories of the Lee family from Glen Cairn U.C.

Sincerely,
Rhonna & Wayne Levere

In the time I worked with Bill at CKOY-BY he was always a professional and a gentleman. But he also knew how to enjoy life. He will be missed. Broadcasting is now poorer because Bill is gone.

Doreen, I can't express my sorrow enough to you and your family for your loss. I will certainly miss Bill and his sense of humor ... who else will complain to me about the "unbuttered bread to the corners, or how stingy I was with the egg salad" ... only Bill! I will also miss the the fun chats we had about our Ottawa Senators! I can honestly say that it was an honor to know such a kind and caring and person and will never forget him. My prayers, love and thoughts are with you and your children and also to Bill's sisters Mary and Grace. God Bless!

A truly great family man and a wonderful broadcaster .Bill taught me alot to begin my broadcasting career in Ottawa.We would talk about the buisness and life in general at the richmond road studios of CKOY-CKBY.After Bills retirement i would still run into him at the supermarket and talk about his kids and many grandchildren he so dearly loved.We will miss you Bill and that voice.Our prayers go out to all of the family.
