My condolences to the family. Lee was always good to me when I was an apprentice. I remember working with him while I was pregnant, and trying to hide it so I didn't get laid off. We were in a genie boom and he was welding. He told me he wouldn't be able to keep my secret if I kept throwing up over the basket. I told him to quit welding, then. He was great guy. He will be missed by many.

Judy, i am so so sorry for the loss of Lee. You and Lee took me under your wings when i didn't have anything good happening in my life. You treated me just like family. Lee was a great father figure, something that i didn't have in my life before I met such great people as you two are. You were my neighbor for almost 19 year. Lee will be deeply missed. May he not suffer anymore and god bless to you and your family.
Loving (daughter, as Lee would of called me) and Jeff Rogers
