Condolences

So sorry to hear this news. I know how special Lee was to my Late husband Richard. He loved his cousin and the whole family. So happy I had the opportunity to meet Marnie this summer. Sending love and prayers to the family. May Lee rest in Eternal Peace and may his Memory be a Blessing.

Yes, Lee was a mensch.

Lee brightened my day if he was outside his house when I was walking my dog. His was always a welcoming, kind presence and I was disappointed when he wasn’t there to schmooze. I watched him care for his beloved Sandy as she declined. He was so obviously a good husband till the end. And he lived up to his apt name. He was a good man. I will miss his handsome smiling face and generous heart. My condolences to his daughter, grandchildren and friends.

So sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing
