Lee was my brother...He always had a smile. always. gave him my motorcycle and he immediately took every piece apart. cleaned it and put the whole thing back together without any book or whatever. Very talented. Very smart...VERY NICE...Always there if anyone needed anything..Him, Bill, Paul and I were all so close for many of our younger years. Laugh, play, rough house, fight sometimes, but always brothers...Always....

Priscilla, You were a wonderful daughter to your Dad. All the years I have known you Dad. He was a very strong man.I always thought of him every year on April Fools Day. Because that was his Birthday. I would think when I was younger how to prank your Dad.He was a wonderful man. And I know he was proud to have such a great daughter like you.I know where you got your looks from your Dad.He was so handsome and smart. With a sense of humor. Now he is in Heaven with his two favorite Natalie's his Mom and my Mom. May they be dancing.I am sure my Mom was waiting for Lee in Heaven to kiss him on the head like she always did. Now he is at Peace no suffering. Rest in Peace my friend.God Speed. If you need me for anything Priscilla I am here. I am glad he got to see you and your beautiful baby before his travels to Heaven. R.I.P. Lee. Love Brenda Carroll Rizzo and family.xoxo

My deepest sympathy to the family. I was saddened to see the obituary last Saturday. Lee and I were buddies in 6th grade at T.J. Kenney Elementary School, Oakton Ave, Dorchester - and I never forgot him. In the picture you published, I still see that devilish smile and twinkle in his eye as I remembered him from grade school, although without his long, jet-black shiny hair. It's been 55 years - 1958 since I last saw Lee. But I never forgot him. I am sorry I cannot pay my respects in person, but my thoughts and prayers are with the family for my old friend from Mr. Dwyer's ("Dewey's") 6th grade class. Rest in peace, Lee.

A Son, Brother, Husband, Uncle, Grandfather & Friend. He is now an Angel watching from above and will be missed by many. May God bless you in this time of sorrow and bring peace to your hearts.

We are so very saddened by the loss of our dear brother, Lee. He was a wonderful husband of 43 yrs to his wife, Yvonne. She will feel his loss forever in her heart. But, we must somehow push on with all the great memories we all shared as a family. All the great backyard BBQ's, his tinkering with old cars, his many upgrades to his home. But, his greatest joy was his family: Yvonne, John, Priscilla, Tanya & his 6 grandchildren. May God bless them all in their time of need. Rest in peace, Lee. We love you, Sister Jean & Dave
