Carolyn Bouchard Mahoney wrote a sympathy message

“It is with the greatest sincerity I offer my deepest condolences to this beautiful family. Lee influenced my life as a boss, friend and spiritual example in my early twenties. I have never met a person more dedicated to Christ and committed to sharing the gospel. His kindness has never been forgotten as I had moved on to other places my life.”
