Lee was such a wonderful soul.  I’ve known him since I was a young teen.   we met when I was working at a drive in bank in our local shopping center.  He knew my mom  and we  became fast friends.  I’ve been looking for him for years as I have wanted to thank him as he truly helped save my life.  I am so sad to see this at this late time.  I hope that one day he will know how grateful I am to him for trying to help me.  We lost touch and never got the chance to tell him how I felt about him.  Lee, you will always have a place in my heart and hope we meet again.  REST ON peace my friend xoxoxo

Lee was a good friend. he always had a positive attitude 
 and was a fighter to the end . May he rest in peace. 

Lee,

You may have drawn your last breath yet your spirit lives well within us. You were a man of strength and these hard long years your battled through were proof of this. I will never forget all our late night conversations that held so much value to this young mind. You considered me a son, as i considered you a father and that bond we shared shall never be broken. Every human being has a higher purpose, to leave a legacy or a dent in this world, and you my friend have done just that. You will certainly be missed.

Thank you for everything and much love,

- Kevin

Rest in Peace Uncle Lee
You will never be forgotten
I love you forever

Uncle Lee....
I will never forget the memories of you smiling and laughing with everyone during holidays and family get togethers. Your music and singing never failed to put a smile on everyone’s face including mine. I will be forever grateful to have those memories of you. 

I will miss you more than you know ... may you Rest In Peace. 


Love always
your niece Lindsay 

Uncle Lee,

You grew up in a wolf pack of four brothers, and by the stories you and my dad would share, it sounded like you all had a wild ride in life. I always resonated with your love to perform in front of people. I guess that's what you and I had most in common, was our passion to entertain others. Even though, you are no longer on this Earth, I'm sure you will continue to be the life of the party wherever you may be now. I know you will bring your voice and spunk to your new audience and  Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Seymour will most definitely have a front seat grinning  ear to ear.  I hope you rest in eternal peace.

Love,
Brooke Rochman

Lee, 

We sometimes wonder why the best people are taken from us. I believe you were put on this earth to accomplish many beautiful things, and now you can lay to rest peacefully. I will thank you every day for giving me my best friend. She’s driven, hard working, and the most loving person, and she owes it to you. I remember meeting you so many years ago, and you treated me just like a daughter. For that, I am forever greatful.  I remember going to baseball games with you and amber, and when you would come out of nowhere singing the best songs. You did have the best voice. 

It was an honor getting to know you and your family. You are so loved, and will be greatly missed. RIP. 

Until we meet again.
Love always,
Ellie ❤️ 

I first met my brother-in-law Lee, the same night I met my husband Robert, and what a memorable night that was. I remember him coming to our house for the holidays, dressing up as Santa, and seeing all the children's faces light up with such joy.  Lee was a performer that never missed an opportunity to put on a show and sing.  His favorite song was, I Did it My Way by Frank Sinatra, and boy did he do life his own way.  I hope you rest in peace and put on a show for the heavens above. 

Love,
Maria Rochman

Daddy, my silly daddy,
I love you, I love you so much. I’m so sad to be writing this as I never saw myself writing this, this soon. You filled so many people’s lives with joy and light. Your singing got everyone up dancing, your smile made other people smile, your laugh made everyone laugh. You were an amazing person and the most amazing father. I chose this photo to share as a memory because it was a great night, we danced the night away, we stole the show. I want you to know daddy how much you mean to me.. you were taken from our family too soon. I know you’re looking down on each and everyone of us, protecting us. You are my best friend, my life, my world, my right hand, my everything. I’ll cherish all the memories we made for the rest of my life. This is not a goodbye, this is a see you later. “I hope you're dancing in the sky, I hope you're singing in the angel's choir, I hope the angels know what they have, I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived “
Rest In Peace Daddy. 
Love, 
Daddy’s little girl, Amber 

I have wonderful memories of Lee singing and playing the piano at our home on Thanksgiving, and other family holidays.  He was always without a doubt the life of the party.  Although I had not seen him in many years, my sadness is overwhelming.  May his memory be a blessing.

Although we meet later on in life I had the opportunity to experience the love between Jaime and you
 I listened to all the wonderful stories about you and your family 
You were always singing and loving life I know that you will be truly missed
 RIP
Love Cathy












 

My dear Uncle Lee was always the life of the party.  Always dancing, laughing, and enjoying his life. He was the epitome of living your life to the fullest and this is how I will always remember him. I remember him doing our school’s talent show with Amber and Blake, he played the piano so beautifully and was always such a great Dad, always wanting to be involved with his children’s activities. I know he is with my grandparents now and I know they are all watching over us. We will never forget the joy you brought to those around you, Uncle Lee ❤️  

Baby Brother Jaime here, from the being of our relationship to a grown man you always brought me along with your journeys in life. I remember you taking me horseback riding at 7and at 10 waking me up at 4am to take me to the Jersey Shore. You introduced me to your TV Production world and guided me into my first job. You will always be my inspiration and I know I made you proud "only because Mom told me" I wish I had told you even more how much I love you and will live off our great memories we had together. I know Mom and Dad are really upset about your life ending way to soon but I do know their really happy to see you. Please give Mom and Dad a big hug for me...There will be a time that all of us will be together again.. BIG BRO  RIP....LOVE YOU ALWAYS .....BABY BRO

I have fond memories of our childhood , One of my favorite memories was when our German Shepherd dog Cindy gave birth  you and I were riding our bikes in the street, You were so excited because my dad let you pick from her litter, but when we were riding our bikes your were so funny coming up with names for the dog. I remember laughing so hard.   Your mom took the dog home and I remember her calling and saying  that his name was Mike..  And when you used to sing   Elvis Presly, song Blue  Suede Shoes.  So many great childhood memories of you.  Rest in Peace peace my cousin. 

Some of the best laughs I’ve ever had involved Lee. He was usually the perpetrator because he loved to have a really good time. He was so full of life and, without exception, was the life of the party.  Many wonderful memories, boating, family dinners, seeing him perform live at a club, Amber and Blake’s births  (the toofus baby at the hospital!) so many good times together. You were very loved Lee, and you will be terribly missed.  I’m picturing you with Sandy and Sy, sitting on the banks of the Haverstraw marina, barbecuing and enjoying the day together, as we did for Fathers Day many years ago.  You are laughing and enjoying each other once again. Rest In Peace my dear friend, I love you. xoxo
