I worked with Lee for many years at Exxon. For the last 5 years of service he was my Supervisor.You will never find a more knowledgeable & fair boss. I enjoyed my time with him immensely.
Sorry to hear of Lees passing. It was good to hear of all the places that he had been traveling after his retirement when he came to my Barbershop for a haircut. My best to his family and he will be missed here but we know he is in a better place prepared for him.

Sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. I worked with Lee for over 20 years at Siemens. We were in the same department. I have great memories of our working relationship. He was fun to be around.
