I just received the sad news of Lee's passing. I so enjoyed working with Lee for many, many years while I worked at Triangle Talent. We usually managed to change the subject from available bands to some "gossip" and lots of laughs! He was one of my favorite "other" agents to work with and I would always hang up with a smile on my face. My deepest sympathy to you, Liza, and your entire family!

Lee was always very kind to me. As time went on our relationship changed from professional to personal. Lee made me laugh. I´m grateful to have known him.

Totally shocked to hear of Lee's passing. I've known Lee for over 30 years as he was the first agent to book my band Familiar Faces. He was a wonderful and kind person and will be missed..
