Remembering Lee: March 10, 1967 - July 9, 2008

I went to Ohio State with Lee back in the early 90's and I truly adored/loved him, he was funny, kind, sweet, compassionate never a dull moment with Lee, he was always like the big brother I never had. He treated me so well and took good care of me while I lived with him and his roomates. When my sister died in 92 Lee never forgot, he sent flowers to the funeral home and a beautiful card to my parents whose hearts were truly broken. My family also adored Lee and cherished his humor. I will miss my college buddy, but I know he is with my sister now in heaven and the two of them are at peace. I love you Lee Lee and I will miss you, RIP
Love ya

I worked with Lee @ Index Stock Imagery in 2001 and for the short amount of time that I worked there, he was one of the funnest and coolest people I became friends with. We stayed in touch for a long time afterwards via emails and I just came across his Facebook page today to see the sad news. RIP Lee. I know you're happy wherever you are. xox

I worked with Lee at Indexstock back in 2004-2005. My now late husband was very ill back then, and I was constantly exhausted at work from the commute (came in from Connecticut). Never one day went by when Lee didn't do something silly to cheer me up or send me a funny picture and one time he went and got me a McDonald's fudge Sundae because I has simply mentioned I wanted one. When my finances were tight, he mysteriously always seemed to have gotten one of my favorite sandwiches on hand that he "could only eat one half-think you can finish it?" Many times he simply just listened and he had this way of giving you a hug that made you feel special no matter what was happening. Lee-you will be missed, and I am sure my husband, Eric, is keeping you in good company. Heaven is in for a fine time of it with you two working together.

If we ALL aspire to bring as much joy, optimism, and happiness as Lee did in just 41 short years, we will be better people and the world will be a better place. We really miss you... Rob & Denise

Lee was so that great he came to my graduation. He even gave me a digital thermometer. Of course, his doggie bag was HUGE! 2007-12-07
