Jo-anne & family: I worked with Lee at Shell in the earlier part of my career in Edmonton. I particularly remember Lee and I volunteering to put aside our geologic day to day work, and lend "juggle hustling" manpower to a rush seismic survey to meet a deadline of a particularly interesting mineral rights sale . It was December, cold, cold and more cold in the Whitecourt area. But with tenacity and the good humour of Lee, we got the job done. Lee knew his "stuff" and was highly regarded by his peers professionally and personally. Rest in piece my friend

Kate and family,

We are very sad to hear of your amazing dad’s passing during these difficult times. We always enjoyed his company around Leslie’s table. Thinking of you all at this time.

Maria and Angelo

We offer our sincere condolences to Joann and Family on Lee's passing.

I personally got to know Lee when I worked for him at Shell in the sixties in Edmonton in the Northern Plains Group when he was District Manager.

Vivian and I have fond memories of our camping trips to Jasper in the sixties with our families together with Gordon and Barbara

McBroom and family. Vivian especially remembers the families hike up to the alpine meadows on Mt Edith Cavell when Lee

carried our youngest two kids for the final stretch of the hike because they were tiring out. I also recall the two day hike over

the Skyline Trail with Lee, Konrad,Gordon and Brian McBroom. We had two nice sunny days with lots of great conversation.

I believe Lee had wonderful fulfilling life with you and the family in spite of some difficult times along the way. He will definitely

be missed by his luncheon pals at the Danish Canadian Club.

Joanne,

So sorry to hear that Lee has now passed on. He certainly led an interesting and fulfilling life although the last few years must have been a little trying on your patience!

Very informative obituary on this site, much better than the Calgary Herald.

In looking back I have known Lee for over 40 years back to when I helped with his US tax returns under John McCormick. It was some years later that I met you but I could see how important your relationship and love must have been to give some balance to his endless inquisitive mind. Although initially a professional relationship it became more of a friendship over the years and we would discuss family issues, politics, exploring and his many other interests. I would hope that I played at least a small part in reducing his stress and allowing him to keep enjoying his life all these years.

A personality as vivid as Lee is not easily extinguished and I am sure his stories and precious moments will continue to be close to your heart for your remaining years.

My deepest condolences for your loss.

Lee had stories to tell. A bit like Foret Gump , he found himself witness to historic moments. Besides Tiananmen Square and the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, my favourite would be appreciated by all of us Shell old timers. That would be the meeting he attended where Paul Kartzke, then VP Exploration, made the historic and unlikely decision to complete the Waterton gaswell that became the foundation of the Company. The main advocate for completion was later fired, the main advocate for abandonment eventually became President.

Lee loved irony .

And so it goes.

I wish to send my condolences to the family.

I always enjoyed when Lee came to the Danish Club with “Friends of Otto “

Many fond memories serving him at that table, and chatting with him when I was in the office
