We were saddened to hear of our dear friend Lee's passing. So many memories of our 46 year friendship. Our family lifelong connection began when we both lived on Long Island. Our oldest daughter and Lee and Bev's daughter Nicole, attended Grace Nursery School together. Also our son joined them at the school and a few years later another of our daughters and Erika developed their friendship through nursery school .When Lee and Bev moved to Connecticut, this didn't affect our friendship in the least. During the week when he'd stay on L.I., he'd frequently visit our home and join us for dinner. When our family relocated to New Hampshire, miles and years never separated our lasting friendship. Lee was a wonderful man, husband to Bev, father to Nicole and Erika and an adoring grandfather to Erica's three children. We will cherish all these wonderful memories of sharing all the milestones that connected us with the Netter's all these years. Lee will be missed by some many, but he won't be forgotten as he touched so many lives. Our condolences to the Netter family
