Michael Lee Obituary

Lee, Michael B. GLENMONT On Saturday, September 3, 2022, our Lord took Michael B. Lee home after a long and valiant battle with cancer with his wife and daughters by his side. Michael was a lieutenant and paramedic with the Albany Fire Department where he served honorably and heroically for 27 years. Michael was also a retired driver for UPS for 30 years, and a paramedic for the Albany County Sheriff's Department up until his illness. Michael was an avid hunter and fisherman all his life. He also enjoyed golfing and coin collecting. Michael was a once in a lifetime man who meant so much to so many. This world will be much dimmer without him in it. Michael is survived by his wife of 29 years, Mary Jo Lee; his two daughters, Brianna Rae Lee and Brittany Lee Haynes; and his eight year old grandson, Mason David Haynes. Michael was predeceased by his father, Martin K. Lee in 2018, but is also survived by his mother, Joan A. Lee; his three siblings, Nancy Ferrigan, Lisa Welter (Richard) and Christopher Lee (Jennifer), as well as several nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held on Friday at 11 a.m. in St. Francis of Assisi Church, 391 Delaware Ave., Albany. Relatives and friends are invited. There will be no calling hours. Interment will be in the Calvary Cemetery. If desired, contributions in Michael's memory may be made to the charity closest to his heart, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Honey it´s been 22 months since you were taken from me and although the pain has not lessened a bit I do feel your undeniable presence with me every single day, not just around and above me but within my soul, like you´ve always said we are part of each other so just as in life we remain the exception because death did not part us. I see you so clearly in all 3 of our children, in their expressions, in their words, their views of the world and most especially in their strength. I know that you´re with each of them with every breath they take and are so incredibly proud of the way they are learning to live this new life of sorrow with such strength and grace & our sweet little boy grows determined to be just like his papa.. the finest man who ever walked this earth. We did good honey. I love you with all of my being and I always will Love your kitty kat
