August 14, 2023 at 4:57 pmMy sincerest condolences to all of Lee’s family. I worked with Lee at Dow Badische/BASF for about 10 years. He was a lot smarter than I was, he stayed there. In later years Lee was my go to guy for computer repairs. I’m really going to miss him for that because I can really mess up a computer. Lee was a fine man and will be missed by all that knew him.
