johndh1 0 #26 December 5, 2007 I had to read the original post three times to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong - I had hoped the bold letters were referring to the entire thing and I was mistaken.

chaoskitty 0 #27 December 5, 2007 My favorite photo of Lee.. the poker photo. Chatting with him on IM one day, he had Brandy take it, sent it to me and said "Post it! Be rude not to!" This hurts, and it makes no sense. Love to Brandy.. and everyone else who feels like shit today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,443 #28 December 5, 2007 I'm so sorry to hear about this. He was just the right kind of abrasive at just the right time. Then some other times, too. Go in peace.

shmali 0 #29 December 5, 2007 Lee was a good guy, a little messed up in the head sometimes but a genuinely good guy. After getting the call last night i really wanted to wake up today to hear it was a mistake, that he was ok and everything was going to be fine. Unfortunately reality is a cold eye opener Brandy our thoughts and prayers are with you, if you need anything just ask and we will do what we can. all i can say is sooty is probably having a cold one with all our other eternal brothers/sisters, or at least walking around with it sticking out of his ass as he so loved to do BSBD you fat bastard you will be missed -adam Pineappe Death Juice, If you have to ask you'd rather not know!

NWFlyer 2 #32 December 5, 2007 Quote When my uncle's house burned down last year, Lee's first response was to send me a text message (paraphrased for grammar) "How much money does your uncle need and where should I send the check? I've got too much just sitting in my account right now anyhow." What you saw was what you got with Lee. It was all out there - the heart (what he loved AND what pissed him off) and the generosity. Sure, he'd take any bet he could get and gloat over taking your money in poker, then he'd turn around and do stuff like he offered for your uncle, or call me repeatedly asking if anyone of the Caravan victims' families needed anything. "It's just money." He was willing to put his credit card out there for people he'd never met just to make their lives easier in the wake of a tragedy. I'll miss your grammar free IMs and knack for pestering me for an online poker game right when I'm trying to get out of work, or insisting that you couldn't figure out photo editing software and begging me to resize photos. All my love and support to Brandy right now. This sucks. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

lauraliscious 0 #34 December 5, 2007 Yeah, he sure was generous. He said he would have put money on my account from his for that jump he owed me but he had just cleared out his account and gave all the $$ to Beezy's daughter. Here is one of my favorite photos of Lee...drinking beer with friends on a windy day in DeLand. edited to upload attachment...

BillyVance 34 #41 December 5, 2007 I just cannot believe this shit. I love skinnyshrek, I will miss the funny insults slung back and forth "you deaf bastard" "you fat bastard", etc. The poker games even though I could never kick his ass at the table. Sharing beers at the Farm and raiding his fridge for a couple. Jumping with him, even if we only shared a few because he was busy videoing. We shared so many PMs on a wide variety of topics, sometimes on what to cause trouble on here about. I could go on and on, but he was my favorite dropzone.com friend and fellow postwhore. This really hurts! My heart goes out to Brandi and family. If someone else was responsible for his demise, whoever it was, I hope that person rots in hell!

PsychoBob 0 #49 December 5, 2007 I'm going to miss your sooty ass Lee. You were such a great friend and we always had a great time together. Whether it was rafting on the Nantahala, jumping at The Farm, sitting around the bonfire at Dublin or fucking with each other on the phone it was always fun.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #50 December 5, 2007 Lee really showed concern when I posted a thread about my stress and sleep issues. he PM'd me several times about his experience with the problem and eventually helped me out immensely and then PM'd me some more to check up on me. I am just so saddened by hearing this news. I had made a new friend within the past few weeks and now I have lost him.This really really has been a fucking sucko year!!
