"Many people did not know of my gaming freindship with Lee. We were friends at camp and outside camp we'd roleplay a good amount back in the 90's. We played board games, Booth Hill, D&D, and he always had great concepts of characters and bag of voices and cheer to draw from. I'll miss ya buddy. He really gave of his heart and didn't expect much back."
