He cared very deeply for the people he worked with, his "team" as he would call them, and he knew they loved him.

He enjoyed being with his family from New Jersey--our brother Rick, Aunt Gloria, and our cousins. I remember when my cousin Renee got married how Lee said it was the best time he had ever had when visiting New Jersey because he got to see all the relatives he cared about. When my brother Rick passed away earlier this year, Lee got to see our brother Whitney. Lee said that although the occasion was a painful one, at least he got to visit with the brother he rarely sees. I am grateful for that too.

He loved my family as if they were his own. Candace, Liz, Kori, and Sean. Tall, lanky Sean, who resembles Lee so much. He was the son Lee never had. And Kori--who could resist that irresistible smile--certainly not Lee. He would do anything for her and they both knew it. Although they weren't brothers by blood, my husband Mike and Lee may as well have been. I know this loss affects Mike very deeply.

As everyone knows, Lee was my twin and best friend. We have lived together most of our lives and shared a closeness that many would not understand and others would envy. I will cherish the moments I had with him just as I know my family will.

Lee loved the Caribbean and going on his Windjammer cruises. He used to drive us crazy counting down the days and hours until his next trip. I have received condolences from people all over the country who did not know Lee in person, but knew him through his web site on the internet. Lee touched a lot of lives and had fun doing it. When I pulled up his web site I could see how passionate Lee was. I would like to share something he wrote about the evenings aboard a Windjammer.

"I remember sleeping on the deck one night. We raised the sails around eleven that night. We had bought bottles of champagne for the raising of the sails. We all helped to raise the sails and the ship sailed out into the dark sea. The song Amazing Grace was playing. The captain shut off the ship's lights on the top deck. The song played on as we looked up at the wonder of the millions and millions of stars. The wind was light, the air was warm, the moon was only a quarter full. I looked up at the sea of stars. It was such a wonder looking up at the starry night - the Milky Way, so visible. It was amazing looking at millions and millions of stars, so bright, so clear, so close. It was a night of wonder, I was a little boy again, the wonder of a child's innocence. It was magic. It took me a long time to fall asleep."
