I’m very sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. My sympathies to his family and friends. We’d been out of touch for many years but in the late 60’s early 70’s. He was a good friend to us. He was very kind to our 2 year old daughter. She couldn’t say Lee so she called him “Feef”. She was always happy to see him – we all were.
