Thank you John. I also considered Lee a friend. I was afraid this was the status since I hadn't heard from him in a while.
Prayers and best wishes to Lee's family.
George

Very sad. I had sent him some email not long ago and hadn't heard back.
May he rest in peace.
I wonder if they have anyone taking care of his station and website... we, as a group, should maybe see if that's even needed or desired.

My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family. He was a regular contributor and one that I think everyone on this forum liked.
He will be missed!
ALS is such a cruel disease. I've lost several friends who had it. Very difficult to watch them slowly deteriorate over time.

Scalphunter,
Thank you for posting this over here. I did not, because Lee wasn't a member anymore. My apologies everyone.
John
