I am very sad to hear of Lee's passing.
We had not seen each other in over 30 years, but had become acquaintances again thru phone calls between Lee, my mother Jan, and myself.
We talked about good memories growing up as cousins among other things.
Lee and his Dad helped me out with early airplane modeling adventures.
Lee and I did most of the exterior house repainting one summer.
We also had a shared interest in Drag racing both on the street and at the track later in our lives.
I probably talked his ear off about my Hang Gliding exploits, as I tend to do with anyone who will listen.
Well wishes to all those grieving and remembering Lee.

So sorry to hear of Lee's passing. I last saw him when several of the Tau brothers and I paid him a visit around Christmas after he moved into Matthew's of Hartland. We asked how he liked it there and he replied in typical Wizzy fashion "They treat ya right here ". He said the thing he liked best was the ratio of women to men.
Being 8 years younger than Lee, we seldom saw each other except at fraternity events but on the non frat occasions we did spend time together it was great. RIP Brother. You'll be missed.

Our condolence's over the loss of Lee to his family and friends. Lee's kindness, and passion for life stood out from the first time you met him. A Gentle Giant Frat Brother if there ever was one. I can visualize Lee driving his 67 Corvette in Heaven. RIP Wizzy!

Remember many great times in Milwaukee. I wasn't the most involved in Tau activities. Returned to Sheboygan after I left school. Wizz attended our wedding in '75. We had an infamous road trip to Shawano for our annual "Stag". We were on our way to Sheboygan for a lunch at my parents when we lost a wheel on Wizzy's Nomad. A State trooper drove us to a garage on Sheb south side. The owner towed the car in and proceeded to work on the car. The problem was he didn't have the right parts. We manage to get my dad's car and with several phone calls, got the needed parts. The wheel was fixed and we had a good supper at my parents house. We got to the Circle C later that evening for an enjoyable stag weekend.

Sorry to hear of Lee's passing. We were fraternity brothers and I have known Lee since 1967. I went with him when he bought his Class 3 sports rally car, a Coventry Climax. I rode all the way to Minneapolis in the back seat of his Corvette. I always looked forward to seeing him at fraternity reunions. The last time we talked was on a Milwaukee harbor tour. He will be missed.

Dearest Lee,
I have only the fondest and dearest memories of you. ..You, the brother of my best friend, Nancy. ...Although I haven't seen you since Nikki's wedding, I fondly remember those younger days of our youth. I remember you and your Tau Brothers at MATC. I remember our long talks and your kind and gentle soul. I remember how difficult it was for you when you lost your wonderful mother. I remember how you missed her so. Was thrilled to learn of your marriage, and enjoyed seeing you interact with your children. I would like to think of your mother and your wife standing there ....eagerly....warmly... with arms out stretched .. ..Just smiling ....waiting to say..... Welcome!

How does one put into words how much Lee meant to me and all of his fraternity Brothers. The memories that I have with Lee and about Lee. He truly was a gentle giant.
I know he’s in a better place and there with the love of his life! It still doesn’t make saying so long any easier.
Katherine and I are sending our thoughts and prayers to you and your entire family
during this difficult time.
