JAMES LEE Obituary
James B. Lee Jr., on June 17, 2015. Beloved husband of Beth, and loving father of Lexi, Jamie, Izzy, and grandfather to Bobby and JoJo. Known as Jimmy, he was tenaciously loyal, and a source of inspiration to many who knew him as a mentor, colleague, and friend. He was a proud champion of Williams College and cared deeply about education and providing opportunities for those in need. A world- class fly fisherman, he lived for being outdoors and cherished time with his family. He was a larger-than-life personality who loved rock-and-roll, the thrill of the deal, his firm J.P. Morgan Chase, and his clients who he considered friends. The family invites friends to Memorial Mass on Monday, June 22nd at 10am at St. Patrick's Cathedral. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Inner-City Scholarship Fund.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you, Mrs. Beth Lee, your children and your grandchildren. I began my career at Chase, with Chemical Bank in 1994 and always heard about your husband but never had the fortune to meet him.
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

Jimmy, thank you for everything you did for finance. If it was not the amazing experience I gained while working in your department, I would not be the professional that I am today. Thank you! God Bless!

At Williams College, he always struck me as a down to earth guy. There was a fire in his blue eyes & I knew he would soar & soar he did. But he kept his feet firmly on the ground--no airs about his great successes. Recently we were in touch as I tried to locate a mutual Williams pal: he was as nice as could be. Beth, to you & your entire family my heartfelt sympathy on the sudden & untimely death of this wonderful man in your lives. RIP Jimmy & God bless his family.

I owe Jimmy so much. He put a human touch on a business that had become something else. He was a mentor and a friend to me and so many, many others. Loved him.
