Lee was a man with many talents, most of them self taught. He used his skilled hands to help others, to create and to share. Lee was an avid gardener, a skilled woodworker and he could fix just about anything needing attention. He spent many hours at the Oxford Senior Center, always wearing a smile and always ready for a good game of pool with his buddies.

Lee leaves us all with his important legacy “to be optimistic.”
