Lawrence Lee Obituary

Borden: your father was such a devout and godly man. I remember hearing of death while I was on sabbatical in Spain walking the "Camino." There was such a time difference, but I was so glad you were able to receive my call. Your father was so very proud of you & what you had accomplished. Although the painful rawness may have diminished, I imagine his loss in your life remains a gaping hole. Please know he is still loved and missed by so many.
Faithfully yours, Pastor Lin+

Larry honored this country in his life and in his work. He would be proud on this day, and I am sorry he is not with us all on a beautiful Friday in the country he worked for in the interest of justice for all.

Great sense of humor and a wonderful, kind, considerate companion. The Best!

Remembering your father with gratefulness for his faith & service. I will always remember that I was hiking the Camino in Spain when I learned of his death. How glad I was to offer a prayer for him in Santiago.

Larry and I had a lot of fun digging into SCAD stuff early on, and conspired with Ester Shaver whom Larry called G2 (British Intelligence). He was a rare treasure for this community and I loved his sense of humor...about really yucky stuff!

I still miss Larry but I know he's in a better place because there is no worse place than where we are right now.

I hope I'm not offending anyone.

Sincerely,

John Bishop

Larry, my Wilmington mother Leila Wootten Miller was a close friend of your family all her life, and I enjoyed knowing you.

He is missed, no doubt. The wit, the intelligence, his compassion--a remarkable man.

I met Lawrence at Savannah Yeats Society dinners. We sat together on occasion and an immediate fondness ensued. He was a smart, decent, cordial human being. One instantly takes to others - or does not - according to any number of factors; among those factors for me is the instinctive measure of humaneness. One comment above has it that "Larry... was a good man." I would second that even though I only knew him briefly - too briefly. I found myself drawn to him with respect and gratefulness that he lived in my community. He was forthrightly ethical and had great politics. His death has come as a shock to me. I think the words I would use to describe him would be discernible kindness. From what little I know of his professional life I would also add courage. He was a rare human being whose loss is personal. Warmest condolences to his family.

Oh my, James, I didn't know of this until just now. Gosh.

Kristin, I am so sorry for your loss. I saw this on Facebook. God be with you and your family, and may he rest in peace.

We'll miss you Larry. Bon voyage.

I so enjoyed talking with Larry. He was a good man with a fine sense of humor.

Sorry sad; left us too soon - you had more to give and share. Thank you for your self-less service on so many projects. Peace and Great memories to your family.

Larry was a mentor and a friend for over twenty years. He will be sadly missed by so many! It was a privilege and a joy working side by side with him on the DNA Board for over eight years. He was a man you could count on to bring humor to any situation and one who could help bring peace where discord dwelt. His contributions towards the betterment of mankind are too numerous to list but we count ourselves among the multitude of his many friends who felt blessed to have known him! Larry Lee will be missed by us all! I so regret we were out of town and could not be here to pay our respect to this great man.

His face, voice, humor, and caring will always be with us. We know where he is, but will miss him so much.

I met and became friends with Larry over 40 years ago when we were working to try and get WRFG (Radio Free Georgia) on the air, a manifestly uncertain proposition. His commitment to community activism was exceeded only by his generosity and wicked sharp sense of humor. Larry was one of the good guys and his passing renders the world a less graceful and interesting place. I miss him.

Larry was a great lawyer and fine man. I was fortunate to have him defend our agency once and came to respect and admire him greatly. My condolences to the family. He is in a better place.

So Sorry for your loss!!

May Gods loving kindness comfort you through this difficult time. Psalms 119:76

We hope that Larry finds outstanding sailing in his new home!

We were privileged to know him for just a few years but he honored all of us with his presence.

So very sorry for your loss. Larry was a wonderful person and was one of "my" attorneys at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Savannah. He was simply a dream to work with and he had my upmost respect and admiration. His stories of his early bluegrass radio career were always so interesting and filled with humor. He was not only a co-worker but was considered a friend by all. He will be missed on this earth by everyone that knew him. I pray that the Lord will comfort you during this time of grief, even through we are mourning his passing . . . the Angels are rejoicing as they welcome him home.

Larry and I graduated from Charleston High and UNC together. He was a good friend and bridge player and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as they celebrate a unique life.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I have often heard that only the good die young. Apparently this is true, as Larry left at an obscenely young age, for those of us tacking into old age. The Larry I knew and respected was good as gold, kind as could be, and the thought that this fine human being in no longer with us is beyond belief. Larry, go now in peace and may the spirit of love surround you, everywhere you may go. (Unitarian)

Kris, I can't begin to tell you how sorry I was to learn of Larry's passing. It was easy to tell from the few times I spent with the two of you that he was a great guy. I will keep both he and you in my prayers. Remember John 14:27 (Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.).

A Dear Blessed man! A great friend and counselor. A beautiful child of God in Jesus Christ!

What a privilege to have known him, even for a short time. He was easy to be around, since he seemed to have no ego. There are many things mentioned in his obituary which he could have bragged about, but never did. Condolences to the family on your loss.

So very sorry to learn of your loss. Larry was such a great man who truly loved the Lord. Rest in peace dear beloved of the Lord, and may you continue to grow in the Lord's light as you now see him face to face. Pastor Lin+ St. Thomas Episcopal Church Orange, VA

What a fun and fine man. I am shocked and saddened to learn of his death.

Simply the finest man I have known.

Bill Gladden

I had the pleasure of discussing world affairs every Tuesday morning!

So sorry to lose such a good friend. Funny, smart, caring, compassionate, Larry was an inspiration to anyone who wanted to be a better person because much of his life was lived to serve others.

John Bishop

Condolences to the Lee family.Larry was so kind to us when we were in USA in 1996.

Kris, we are so sorry to hear of your loss of Larry. May God give you the strength and peace to get through this difficult time. We will always remember our visits with you when you came to Iowa. Godspeed Lsrry.....Love Art and Marilyn Jacobson
