I went to ashland elementary school before transferring to Woodsville and i was 3 years younger than Lee, which i assume was his middle name. He had a good spirit and was nice to us younger kids. This is a pretty sad day for someone like him to die this young...warmest regards to his family, Leo Derosia, Warren NH
