Lee was a wonderful person.  He was always cheerful & eager to have a conversation.  He was a true professional & an asset to the airline.

I especially remember doing Hawaii trips with you, how attentive he was toward you Melissa and how that eventually changed and attentive you were able to be toward Lee. A great loved was shared between the two of you. Cherish your memories. 
Much Love - Much Aloha

I'll never forget our long NYC Easter weekend trip when you brought your mom and I did too and you showed us New York City and introduced me to Lo Mein! You were an amazing person and I am honored to have been your friend. God Bless Missy.

We will always remember Lee showing up for work in his Hawaiian shirt then changing into his uniform. Great voice over the PA! Very classy guy!
You are already missed
Condolences to Lee’s family

Oh dear sweet Lee — such a loss. I will never forget how you always called me strawberry because of a crazy Halloween costume I wore. Such a fabulous friend and flight attendant with a classy golden voice.  Fly high sweet friend. You will be sorely missed.

I loved Lee’s beautiful voice guiding us over the country.  He had every passenger and crew members attention as he pointed out places of interest in our beautiful country
 I will never forget flying into PHX and always hearing. “GO DEVILS!”
May you fly with the Angels my friend
I’ll be looking out the window for you 

Lee was always a true professional and a class act. He went too soon.
Rest in Peace Buddy


I will always remember Lee’s great announcements during flights!  He always knew where and what we were flying over and loved sharing his knowledge with our passengers! He was always so professional and great to fly with!! My condolences to all of his family!

I was so sorry to hear of Lees' passing.  What a great guy!
My condolences to Melissa and Lees family.

Sincerely,

Lee and I started at America West Airlines in the same class in 1983. He was a good friend and fun co worker. Always happy, kind and smart as they come! He will be missed. 
Missy and family, my sincere condolences for your loss. 
Warmly,
Julie Simis Olsson

We fought too much when we were kids, but you turned out to be quite a guy. I know you're up there flying "Borden Airways" and giving everybody too much information. Give Kalila, dad, Irene, and grandma & grandpa a hug for me, ok?  I wish you could've had more time with all of us, especially with your amazing wife Melissa.  I love you little brother and you will be missed.
Brian

We send our love and sympathy to Missy, Jean and all Lee's family. 
We enjoyed our opportunities to visit you in Scottsdale and the adventures depicted in your remarkable Christmas cards!
May the blessings you shared together sustain you in these difficult days.
Love and prayers. Aunt Ginnie and Uncle Bill

Lee was special person in many ways. He was a great flight attendant & had such a passion for aviation.  We had many conversations over the years about flying & politics.  He always had a smile on his face as he reported for work.  I am so sorry for the loss of this great man.  May peace be with Melissa & family.  Marilyn Frost,  1983-2014 America West Airlines.

I loved how you always knew where we were flying to after we took off out of Phoenix.  Godspeed Lee.
