    I knew Lee for the decade I was at St James Hospital. He wasn’t just the hardest working ER tech but a master griller on the George Foreman and was my security when I needed help up in CT. He helped everyone no matter what you needed.
    RIP my old friend you were one of kind and had a big heart ❤️

    Lee was a volunteer with UPFD when I was made fulltime. I always made time for his stories of fires and calls from the past. He truly did love his fellow man and worked to make the lives of those in loss a bit brighter. He never failed to offer advice or insight to those who would listen. I count Lee as a friend and have been humbled to know him. Rest well Lee!
