Lee was a real flag-waver for the Country Club area. I always appreciated his commitment and dedication to bettering our neighborhoods.

My deepest sympathy to your family Mary and although I was very young and didn't really know your husband, I knew Rick very well, he was my brother Steve Carver's best friend. I loved when Rick would come over and do his donald duck voice if he was a degree of the amount your husband was then I know your husband was a very special man. I know Rick had some wonderful family members and was a very loving person, you and your husband can be very proud of how you've lived your lives. GOD bless you Mary,

We were so sad to see that Lee had passed away. We had not seen him im many years, when he showed up at the funeral of my dad, John Casenave, this past November. Lee and my dad's paths crossed many times throughout the years. He will be missed.

Lee and I worked together many years ago with the West Stockton Bears Pop Warner football team. He was one of the finest people I ever worked with, always so generous with his time and talents. It's been many years since we've talked, but the great memories of him never fade. Such a classic man in so many ways. Pat and I send our condolences to his family.

I worked with Lee for years, and it has been years since I saw him, many. However, it is again brought home to me that time and distance cannot deminish what constant acts of friendship and sharing have put in place. Roy Lee "Fudpucker" Brink was much more than a source of constant humor and joy. He "accepted" me, encouraged me, and, was my friend. He showed me that it was ok to be a bit crazy, a bit different, and unique. There is joy in our differences, and there was joy in Lee. I hope that I have added something slightly different, but I doubt it. You will one day smile at his memory, with the joy he planted in you.

I played Pop Warner football in my younger days in Stockton. I salute Mr. Brink, because not only was he the president, but because I am grateful for his contribution and those volunteers who make Stockton a better community.

Every time I throw a baseball or softball with my kids or teaching and coaching others, I think of Lee with the way he carefully taught me to throw and catch the (LEE BRINK) way, those are great! memories with me forever, thanks Mike and Mary for sharing his talent and kindness.

In fifty three years the memories of Lee are so numerous it's difficult to mention only a few. My favorites include the growing up years of our children together, the days on the Delta, and his wild and wicked sense of humor. He was definitely one of a kind. He is, and will be, deeply missed by so many. My prayers are with you, Mary, Mike, Debbie, Scott and Eric at this time.

My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Lee for 15+ years at DWG and only saw him from time to time after his retirement. He was a true gentleman and loved by all who knew him there. He could light up the room with his smile and attitude. Whenever I needed his assistance at the CoGen electrically, he always went above and beyond of what was expected of him. He was smart as a whip and one of the best! He treated everyone the same. He was someone I looked up to and wanted to be like. He was my friend. May there be comfort to know that he is in the loving arms of our Lord and he will live on in all of us who knew him in our hearts and memories and we will see him again. May God bless all of his family and friends with Peace through this difficult time.
