Lee Essay and his wife, Jana of Southampton, NY and Jeremy Essay and his girlfriend, Luisa Garcia of Southampton and NYC, and two great grandchildren, Wil and Esta Essay of Southampton. He is also survived by his brother, William Post Nugent Jr. and many nieces and nephews. Nephew, Roger Boeckmann, of Lake Ariel, PA, lived with Lee and Dot for a year, graduating from Southampton High School. He and Dot also hosted a Foreign Exchange Student for her senior year in high school, Martine Cesari from Roquebrune, France. Others spent summers and long visits with them. Lee's passion was woodworking, making trays and lazy susans out of wooden wine crates, which he received great pleasure in giving to anyone who admired them. Many in our community are owners of Lee's creations. He loved his home on Lemon Bay, loved his family, his church and his neighbors and friends. He will be sorely missed. in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Faith Lutheran Church, 551 Rotonda Boulevard West, Rotonda West, FL 33947.
