So Sorry for your loss. I worked with Lee at Pratt. He was the "king" of air flow. He was always willing to help no matter what time it was (except if he was playing golf). He never lost his temper regardless what "odd" spot we got ourselves into. God Bless

Dear JoAnn and family, I first met Lee in 1985 to help him with airlow inspection issues at the North Haven plant and it was the start of a long friendship. I'll never forget the help he provied to me when I transfered to North Haven as a hourly production supervisor in the Quality dept. I must have had the deer in the head lights look because Lee pulled me asside and said "don't let them get to you, if I needed anything at all do not hesitate to ask." I will never forget that. He always spoke fondly of his family and at that time his grandson 'Jamie'. You could always tell it was Spring because you would see Lee out at lunch chipping golf balls down by the tennis courts with the long white towel hanging from his belt. It was great to see him so happy in retirement at Ocala and I will miss his emails with the new joke of day. I'm sure he already has T-times secured up in heaven.
