Lee was a wonderful man full of life and with a profound love for his family. We shared stories often about each of our children -we each are blessed with 4. He was an active Dad, full of adventuresome spirit and fully engaged and proud of His Children! He will be missed tremendously by Family Friends and Colleagues .

I am so sorry to learn about this terrible tragedy and send condolences to your entire family.

Lee was a big influence on me as my first real boyfriend. He for sure was a big part of making me a travel adventurer, vintage clothes collector, art admirer, and a person who wasn´t afraid to go away to college and see all the world has to offer. His perspective was always interesting, cool and way ahead of his time.

When we reconnected about ten years ago, one thing was super clear. There was nothing he had accomplished that was greater than his four children. He beamed with pride about each of you, and was so proud of all of your many accomplishments.

If you stay open, look carefully and pay attention, I know you will see that he is around and cheering you all on.

Again, my deepest condolences to all of you.

Lee was a friend, a good neighbor and a great father. My encounters with Lee were almost entirely within the confines of Pennellville, so it was fascinating to learn about his extensive travels and accomplishments, things he never bragged about.
I post some photos he gave me for use at the 50th Pennellville Association Picnic. They are not mostly photos OF Lee, but photos BY Lee, and one photo I took at the Halloween barn party we hosted a decade ago. I hope you enjoy them.

Lee,

You have made a lasting impact on my life. I have fond memories of doing "power slides" on our bikes, and playing lacrosse and tennis in your yard. As I grew older, you always kept in touch; most recently wishing me a happy Father´s Day, and sharing pictures of Gus lobstering.

You were a staple of Pennellville. I will miss your kind soul, and contagious smile.

Your memory will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew you.

Until we meet again my friend.

Lee - Our time together was scattered across many years, yet every moment with you felt like a joyful adventure. I'll miss our paddles on the bay, our turns on the mountain, and crossing paths unexpectedly at some local gig. Your spirit will live on in all of us

You did a lot of living my dear cousin. Hard to believe you are no longer with us. But thankful we are for all the memories you have left behind.

I´ll miss your smile, your laugh, your passion for all the things you did, and most of all, I´ll miss your love. I´m a better person because of you Lee Silverman.
