Lee Eide Obituary
He worked in graphic arts and publication design, including 15 years at Aster Publishing/Advanstar, ending as Corporate Creative Director.
He is survived by his wife of very nearly 25 years, Rina; his sister and brother-in-law, Priscilla and Bill Petersen; his sister-in-law Nancy LeNoir; his nephew Erik Petersen; his niece and her husband, Daphne and Chris Brown; and his great nephew Fletcher Brown.
For a peaceful man, he mounted an aggressive war on bindweed - and anything else that threatened his garden. (Turkeys were rapidly moving up his most-wanted list.) He could also turn a little vicious with his badminton smash.
His storytelling could render people breathless with laughter. We will never stop missing his wry smile.

Lee was always quietly going about his responsiblities, it seemed to me that he was a person who could be relied on to see things through, to get them done and I never doubted his ability to handle whatever came up in the pursuit of turning out truly memorable work on behalf of APC.

Rina I am so sorry to hear this. We had years of sharing a love of blues on the radio of our adjoining office space. I can never hear Robert Cray without thinking of Lee. I'll think of him now as I attack the weeds coming up in the veggie garden. Peace and Love, Barbara Mickelson

I knew Lee in the Aster/Advanstar years and was truly saddened to read of his passing. He was universally liked and respected, not just for his expertise but for that wry humor! I am so very sorry for your loss Rina, please know that many feel the same.

I'm thinking of you, Rina. Lee was a wonderful, kind man. I've never forgotten he told me he would come home from work and spend time with his cat in "Petitation". My younger sister, Gloria, and I were just recalling both of you in a phone conversation a few weeks ago. Take good care.
