Didn't know Lee at all . From all of his posts I felt like I got to know the man called Troubador through his posts . A lot of respect for you Lee . May you rest in peace. Condolences to the family .

It always hurts to lose a friend and Lee was one of the best. We communicated many times. I am missing him already!

 

[Steve C]

Lee and I would communicate frequently. However that diminished some after his final trip to Islay. I'd known of the nature of his affliction and hoped he would rebound. I let him know he was in my thoughts. This forum will be poorer for his departure. RIP my friend.

I can only echo all the comments, I did not know Lee as a person, but certainly admired him as Troubador, his adventures on the islands with Mrs Troubador a feature of the forum for many a year, his optical knowledge and moderating also clearly to be missed too.

It goes without saying that the abundance of messages on this thread is a testament to the fondness that was felt towards him by numerous folk from the many branches of Birdforum. One of the good guys, a sad loss.

 

[Binastro]

Very sad.

We spoke and exchanged emails over a long period.

Thank you for your friendship, Lee.

May you rest in peace.

I only “knew” Lee from here, he was a stand up man on the forum. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

RIP; I’ll miss another member who knew his Opisthobranchs!

 

[NDhunter]

This is sad news, and I also miss him. He was a great writer and will be missed.
I can just imagine seeing him crawling on the rocks, getting a look at the otters and sea birds........
He seemed to have a rebound a few months ago, and did post a new thread on Aug. 23rd, well done.
You can find that thread at the bottom of the page. Go back and read it.
Rest in peace, Lee.

So sorry to hear. Sincere condolences to the family.

 

[Paultricounty]

Very sad. Our prays and condolences go out to the family and friends. Him I had quite a few PM conversations, he was such a nice guy. He was also my grammar tutor and would help straighten out some of my cringe worthy verbiage gobbledygook.

He will be missed. Rest in peace Lee.
