My condolences to the Lee Family. I met Mr. Lee while working at the VA in New Orleans. He always had a smile on his face no matter what the day brought his way. His faith in God and Family was a breath of life to many people who passed through the doors at the VA Research Building. I will remember Mr. Lee for the kind words, his big smile, and at times his joking demeanor. He would help anyone including one's he had just met. Rest in Peace and comfort Mr. Lee. As you said many times, "If you have a job to do then do it right the first time". Job well done Mr. Lee.

I remember James from GSA. He and I worked in the same building for different federal agencies. He became a member of St. Peter Claver many years after I was already a member. We were friends at work and at church. I remember when his daughter, Semaj, was born. He was a good person with a huge heart. He will be remembered by all who knew him and missed by those who loved him. Prayers for his family that he leaves behind.

We are praying for the family. Earth has no sorrow which Heaven can not heal. James is remembered by many uptown on Robert Street and other uptown areas. Being kind and friendly really counts. Also knowing God/Jesus as his Savior is what brought and will bring the rest of us to Heaven to meet our Savior, the Christ. Blessings to the family .

Its the little things I miss about you daddy like calling to wake me up super early at 6am sharp for work. My dad would always tell me "girl you know you have a good dad right" whenever I needed him he was just a phone call away for anything. So many people loved Mr Lee. They would tell me girl your daddy speaks so highly of you Semaj, you made him so proud. I was truly blessed to have you as my father for 33 years. Love you old man
