I just found out about Lee recently and was heartbroken. I never thought anything could get the best of him, he was such a strong, focused, determined and positive person and I have thought of him often and told strangers some of his stories that I remembered about his one-at-a-time car collection, the old violin, and his vow to himself when he came home from Vietnam that he would never be afraid again! He was truly a special person to me as I’m very sure to many others as well! I look forward to the day when all this pain will end and we can all be together again in a peaceful new world!
Lee was a very special guy. I met Lee while trying to sell my 1991 300 ZX in 1993. He didn’t buy it, but he met my wife and her 13 yr old brother visiting from Poland. Lee was wearing this very cool leather jacket that her brother really liked, so Lee gave it to him!!! Lee cut my hair for years and I even purchased a 64 hot rod from him one day. He was very strong for his size and age. I was always good at arm wrestling, and one day after a hair cut Lee and I arm wrestled, he put my down like a wounded dog. Lee was truly a character and quite an unforgettable guy. He will never be forgotten.
